Etonogestrel
birth control
"I was on the Depo Shot for 3 years and wanted to try something new. I was on my period when the Nexplanon was inserted. About 30 minutes after insertion, my period stopped. I've been on it for a year and still haven't had a period yet. It does excellent at preventing pregnancy. I've gained just 3 pounds and my weight has seemed to level out. On Depo, I was gaining 3 pounds each couple of months. My hair is very curly and thick but the hair loss is kinda freaky when showering. I'll comb it and globs of it are on the brush. Besides that, I have no other issues. Every body is different. I'm glad I chose this to protect me during college."
