"i had nexplanon put in october 2012. i had bleeding and spotting non stop for an entire year. i&#039;ve gained 15lbs and there has been no change in my diet. my skin is very oily. my hair gets very greasy. i sweat a lot now. i used to never sweat. i break out all over my face, chest and back. i&#039;m 25 years old and i&#039;ve never had acne. i&#039;ve been super moody. to the extent that my antidepressants needed to be increased. anxiety has gone up. it wasn&#039;t until early november 2013 that my period finally stopped. it&#039;s been 3.5 months with no bleeding. i&#039;ve had almost every bad side effect, but i can&#039;t get pregnant on it."
