"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon for about 9 months now. i have been having irritation issues and it comes and goes i&#039;ve been to the doctor multiple times thinking i had an std but that wasn&#039;t the case each time. the irritation is itchy and inflammed and my sex drive is gone and i have dizzy spells and mood swings. i have an appointment scheduled to get this taken out asap. i would not recommend this birth control to anyone. i read up on it and it said that one of the side effects was vaginitis this is not good very painful"
