"i was recommended the nexplanon after i was told i could no longer take the pill due to my history of blood clots. at first i thought, &quot;yay i can just have it in my arm and forget about it!&quot; man was i wrong! my insertion was august 2015. i weighed 184 lbs after having my daughter and i weight 226 now. i had constant mood swings, feelings of depression, brain fog, constant fatigue, super bad acne, and i spotted all the time. i don&#039;t recommend this to anyone. i never had acne like this before now. i have always struggled with my weight but i was so fatigued all the time i had no motivation to get up and exercise. i ate pretty healthy but it didn&#039;t matter. just getting up and going to work was a struggle. i just had it removed today!"
