Nexplanon
birth control
"The insertion only hurt when the numbing needle injected its medicine into my body. After that, the birth control worked for its full three years successfully. Removal was a breeze, actually better than the insertion.



Side effects- holy shit. Where do I start. This medicine made it so hard for me to lose weight. After I quit smoking I gained an extra 30 pounds and felt like I was hungry 24/7. Food was ALWAYS on my mind. 

My period would last an entire month for the first year &  it would come every three months. Towards the last 6 months of the three years my period finally went to normal. I always felt like I was pregnant. I convinced myself like twice that I was because of the crazy side effects, tender breasts, late periods, cramps etc."
