"i  had my birth control inserted february 2016 and just had to remove october 2016. first time ever with birth control ever. so let&#039;s take a ride down  back to the beginning of the year.  i gave birth january 20, 2016 and was back to my pre pregnancy birth weight, once i return home three days later.  about three weeks later i got the nexaplon inserted,  i consistently had weight gain month over month, even while breast-feeding.  my periods were very irregular never heavy,  just spotting for a very long times (sometimes two weeks)  and would leave for a couple days and come right back.  my pre pregnancy weight was 130lbs.  i now weigh 162 pounds.  i don&#039;t recall any mood swings and i&#039;ve always been an emotional person."
