"i want to write a review for the girls who are reading all the horror stories out there. everyone is different and should try this because not having to worry about a pill or shot or nuvaring is amazing. i got nexplanon just under a month ago. i was terrified i was going to be miserable. i have had minimal side effects. no spotting, i haven&#039;t gained any weight, my hair is not falling out, and zero signs of depression. the only side effects i have experienced was nausea the first week (only for a short time midday) and i was moody for a short period (i also was on my period when it was inserted - so i cannot rule out that i was still pmsing). i switched from the pill and am happy with my results thus far!"
