"i&#039;ve been on nexplanon for 2 years today, so i have another year to go. i love it, but i thought it&#039;d be different than the others. i&#039;ve been on a journey to find the best birth control for me, and i think i&#039;ve tried everything. i started off on the pills, but couldn&#039;t remember to take it, then the patch that fell off constantly, then the nuvaring that fell out, then the depo shot. this is where i slowly but surely gained weight. 2012 november weight at 110, and in 2013 134lbs. i changed the method to nexplanon, and this is where i started to notice the no periods, and less hassle. but dramatically my weight increased. i&#039;m currently 155lbs, i exercise and eat right. i can&#039;t lose anything. my emotions are through the roof all the time."
