"i got neplanon in august 2015. it is the first birth control i have ever had. after having it for a week i experienced spotting for about a month. i have absolutely no sex drive which sucks. i have the worst mood swings. i am grumpy all the time. i&#039;ve gained maybe 5-10lbs. my breasts are extremely tender all the time and have gotten bigger unfortunately (i prefer small boobs). i am considering getting it taken out. i&#039;d recommend this only because it does prevent pregnancy but the side effects are terrible."
