"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon bar in my arm for about 14 months now. if i could warn every woman on earth about this hideous i implant, i would! i am not exaggerating when i say that this implant has ruined my life. massive multiple times a week migraines, rapid weight gain (50lbs in 14 months), major mood swings and anxiety, random chest pain, random gushes of blood which makes me think i&#039;m having a cycle then it just stop, it has zapped all my energy.. this thing is a nightmare. i get it out in 3 weeks which can&#039;t come soon enough. i do not wish this on my worst enemy. i have thought about taking it out myself on numerous occasions! do not get this form of birth control, please just don&#039;t. i don&#039;t want anyone to go through what i have."
