"hello, ive had nexplanon for four years (just got a new one a year ago) and loved it for the first three years.  

i never noticed or realized that it may be due to nexplanon that i&#039;ve gained 15lbs... i thought it was the stress from grad school but now i am realizing it may be because of the implant.  i get occasional headaches but not that often.

overall, i love the convenience of nexplanon. i love not getting my period often. i love not getting cramps anymore. i have not bled for more than 5 days. so i would definitely say i&#039;ve enjoyed my time with nexplanon.

now i am considering taking it out because of how difficult it is to lose the excess weight. i do crossfit and have not lost any fat... it may be time to say my farewell nexy."
