"june 2, 2015 was the date that i first received the nexplanon implant. when i first got it, my period was way off. i would bleed for about 2 weeks and stop for only a day or two before bleeding for another couple of weeks. this happened for the first month or two, and i haven&#039;t bled since. i do enjoy not having a period, but i can&#039;t help but wonder what negativity that is doing to my body. it seems to do its job as far as birth control goes. cons: weight gain/excessive appetite, nonstop mood swings, anger, depression, lack of motivation, random severe cramps. i&#039;m getting it taken out tomorrow because i can&#039;t handle the emotional stress any longer. i don&#039;t recommend to anyone who already suffers from mental disorders."
