Etonogestrel
birth control
"I got the Nexplanon around 3 months postpartum. I was exclusively breast feeding and figured it would be easier while everything was suppressed from breast feeding. I had a horrible bruise (but who cares?), and low back pain with crampiness (I expected it). I got a period right afterward which was light, but for 2 weeks. That subsided and I thought I was home free! But shortly afterwards I began to get stressed, anxious, irritable, and angry. I thought I might be pregnant, but wasn't. That's when I realized after 4 weeks it's the Nexplanon! I'm getting it out tomorrow. It's so bad that I'm mean to my kids, made my son cry and I can't- just can't be mean mommy anymore. I wish I would have realized sooner it's the Nexplanon."
