"first of all, not all doctors are trained in how to properly insert nexplanon. the wrong doctor may embed it too deep, causing a 20-30 minute removal. make sure the doctor has done is at least 20-30 times. the only pro of this bc is that its the most effective bc out there and you don&#039;t have to consciously think about it. nexaplanon made gain weight, bleed for a month at a time, cost me hundreds of dollars in tampons &amp; pads, caused a yeast infection and completely changed by personality (caused depression and horrible anger spells), it affected my relationships with everyone i know. just had it removed last week, emotionally i feel like myself again, however horrible cramps &amp; morning sickness have been present."
