Etonogestrel
birth control
"I got my nexplanon inserted about 8 weeks ago when I was 7 weeks postpartum. In the first 3 weeks or so I developed extremely greasy hair and horrible mood swings. I had my first PP period a week and a half after insertion and it was a bit heavy/long, but nothing I wouldn't expect after giving birth. The side effects seemed to go away after a couple of weeks once my body adjusted and so far have not returned, nor has my period. I'm also breastfeeding, so that may have to do with my lack of period, but I'm not sure. Either way, I've had no issues with the medicine so far and hopefully that's how things will continue!"
