"i got my implant in may 2016. 4 of 7 girls i work with have the nexplanon. i was the last to decide to get mine. two say it&#039;s perfect &amp; the other is having my same side effects. i&#039;ve enjoyed not having a period or super light spotting. it&#039;s working as far as not getting pregnant. i have not enjoyed the side effects one bit. since may, i&#039;ve gained 20lbs, super emotional getting upset &amp; crying/angry for no real reason, and never wanting to have sex. i&#039;ve been with the same amazing boyfriend for 3yrs. i&#039;ve never not wanted to have sex with him. i&#039;m a sexual person and i enjoy it. now, i could care less if we have sex, we need to use lube, sex drive is gone. it&#039;s taken a toll on my relationship. for me, it&#039;s not worth it. it&#039;s coming out asap"
