"this is the worst
previously i&#039;ve used the pill (multiple forms) since i became sexually active and while i didn&#039;t love having to take it every day, the side effects were minimal.
after having my first child, i had my nexplanon inserted, thinking it sounded like a great, long term solution to contraception. i knew at first there would be side effects, and they did clear up within a few months. however, the longer i had it in, the worse things got. it&#039;s been nearly 2 years now and i have major depression, almost constant bleeding and mood swings i&#039;d almost describe as mania. i experience acne which i&#039;ve never had to deal with before, my smell &#039;down there&#039; has changed (no infection or anything) and my sex drive is zero. i&#039;m getting it taken out!"
