Etonogestrel
birth control
"I've absolutely loved Nexplanon. The pill isn't a good option for me because I don't take it consistently, and vaginal implants are difficult because of my vaginismus. Since I got this product, I've loved not having to give my birth control even a cursory thought. My skin hasn't changed, my weight pattern is the same as before. I've had three periods since I got the implant a year ago. I consider myself lucky, though - I have a naturally high metabolism, my skin has been clear for years, and I've never had really heavy periods. So my risk factors for side effects are negligible."
