Etonogestrel
birth control
"I had my nexplanon removed after 2 years. It worked amazingly and I didn't get pregnant. However, I've gained 30 pounds and that's why I removed it before the time. When I first got it, I was spotting a lot and then my period was abnormal. I could go 4 months without it but then I would get it again. The period irregularlity didn't bother me but the weight gain made me depressed. I go to the gym and don't eat too horrible. I'd never gone over my usual weight of 160 but now I'm at 200. I gained 10 pounds within the first year and the other 20 this past year. It was definitely worth it because I didn't want to risk getting pregnant but I'm at my weight limit. It's not worth me feeling this way. & I got my period 4 days after the removal!"
