Nexplanon
birth control
"Initially I was excited to use this birth control. It was paid for 100% by my insurance. Lasts 3 years, no chance of user error, it sounded like the real deal. I immediately had terrible acne breakouts (face, chest, back), emotional changes, intense hunger, and reduced sex drive. I thought I'd wait and see if anything improved. After a year, my acne isn't quite as bad, but I've gained 15 pounds and my sex drive is still low. I am getting it out this week and going back to Nuvaring. I did enjoy not getting a period for a year, and not having to remember to take anything was convenient. However, I'm getting married this summer. I don't want people staring at my acne and excess weight! I want them gone."
