"i first got on the nexaplon in august of 2015. it was fine at first no periods only major migraines. a few months after getting it i had to have it removed because it had moved and began growing into the muscle of my arm. it took almost 2 hours of digging to get it out. i have endometriosis and i have tried almost every birth control to help. my dr urged me to try the nexaplon again so i did in august 2016. i have lost all desire to have sex. not to mention its painful. i have pain in my arm constantly from the implant. my mood swings are killer. one minute i&#039;ll be happy and the next ready to strangle someone. i now have severe depression and severe panic attacks. i have had 4-5 month long periods on it. definitely don&#039;t recommend it."
