Etonogestrel
birth control
"I got Nexplanon after being on birth control pills.  The insertion was uncomfortable but only because of the numbing shot, actually putting it in just felt like tugging.  I tried many different pills before this and with all of them I had irregular bleeding, mood swings, low sex drive, etc.  Nexplanon seemed to only make things worse.  I became depressed, had mood swings, I had absolutely no sex drive, headaches, and I gained 15 pounds (Not sure if it was my lifestyle because I am a lifeguard and am always swimming).  I also had bleeding and spotting for 2 and a half months until my doctor gave a birth control pill to control the bleeding, so now I'm just getting a double dose of hormone.  I'm having it removed."
