"so, i switched from depo to nexplanon simply so i didn&#039;t have to go to get a shot every 3 months. it saved me seem having to leave work and use vacation time. i&#039;ve been using nexplanon for alost 5 months now, and in the beginning, i liked it, but now... it&#039;s a totally differentry story. i haven&#039;t had the majority of the side effects, but i&#039;ve had 2 that bother me the most: extreme breast tenderness and an increase in my acne. i hate it! i guess i&#039;m going to go back to depo soon because i was on that for 8+ years and never had a problem until i switched to nexplanon. it really sucks and i feel pretty hideous and disgusting. i had more confidence in myself on my last bc method."
