"i am now 19 years old. i got the nexplonon in october of 2016. the first 4 or 5 months were straight bleeding. my mood has been everywhere. and even after the first few months i would bleed for 2 or three weeks stop for a few days to a week and bleed again. currently haven&#039;t had any bleeding for about 2 to 3 weeks now. have been really nauseous, have horrible cramps, lack of appetite. i feel like i am pregnant. took one test and was negative. also have had very little sex drive, around 15lbs of weight loss, almost no break outs. i&#039;m working on getting it out. it also feels like it bent in my arm and is now the shape of a cresent moon. this is the only birth control i have ever taken. i really can&#039;t wait to get it removed!"
