"while this birth control is highly effective (ie. no periods, effective control of not getting pregnant) i have gotten a ton of side effects that were not worth it to me.

firstly, after a month of getting it, i starting getting chin hairs and it has gradually gotten worse over the past six months. like a mild beard. not only has the hair been embarrassing and i complete blow to my self-esteem i have also developed in-grown hairs to go along with it and scars that won&#039;t go away.

secondly, i have gotten the absolute worst acne.

lastly, i have gained 30 lbs immediately after getting this implant and my diet is fairly healthy and i also am very active so there is no other reason for me to gain weight except for nexplanon."
