"i got the nexplanon back in may 2014 after i had my son. from the moment i got it i&#039;ve broken out in hives every single day. i&#039;ve been told to take allergy medicine to help. i breastfeed my son so taking all that medicine wasn&#039;t an option for me. i&#039;ve had a period for 5 months straight. no breaks no nothing. it&#039;s a great form of birth control because no sane man wants to have sex when you&#039;re bleeding all over the place. i&#039;ve been hormonal and having emotions all over the place. i&#039;m literally a ticking time bomb. great mood when you&#039;re a mom of a toddler. i seriously can&#039;t wait to get this thing out!!"
