"so i had implanon for 3 years and loved it. i got it because my cramps would so bad i would have to leave school, and my periods were really heavy. for the first year, i had really irregular heavy periods, but after that my periods stopped all together and now i don&#039;t have one at all. after the implanon my doctor told me about nexplanon which is basically the same thing but it&#039;s not. i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 1 year and have had no sex drive, terrible anxiety attacks, and have gained about 15 pounds. getting it taken out asap"
