"i had originally gotten on nexplanon to help with terrible, heavy periods. i have not stopped bleeding since i got on it. i had mood swings, constant spotting. i had my period for a month straight. absolutely no sex drive, which is out of character for me and my partner hated. i would get nauseous after eating, so i stopped eating as much. yet i still gained a good 40lbs with a healthy diet and working out 5 days a week. absolutely hated this birth control, i was so glad to get it taken out."
