"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon implant since november of 2013. in the last 6 months i have gained 20 lbs. my periods are irregular, with brown clotty spotting lasting at least 20 days a month. i have absolutely no sex drive. i have acne breakouts on my lower chin every now and then. i&#039;m very moody and i&#039;ve noticed other mental issues with matters such as memory. this birth control does it&#039;s job well at preventing pregnancy but everything else is a negative for me. i&#039;m not speaking for anyone else but this is not agreeing with my body. i will be having it removed as soon as possible. i tried to wait for my body to adjust to it, but i think i&#039;ve given it enough time."
