"my nexplanon stopped my period for a year, then i had a period maybe once every other month. the last year i got a regular period every month. a shorter, lighter period than my usual heavy 7 day long period. in january, about 6 months before my 3 year mark, i got every terrible symptom. i felt nauseous, for a period every other week, felt like i was on a never ended cycle, had the worse mood swings, i&#039;m usually not the nicest but i could not handle being that irritable and completely lost my sex drive. i never wanted to have sex opposed to my normal self wanting it every single night. that&#039;s where i gave up on this method. i got it taken out a week ago today and i&#039;m back to myself. after a day or two my sex drive returned. good for 2yrs 4me"
