"before i got the nexplanon, i was in the hospital for anemia due to vaginal blood loss. i was on the pill and kept forgetting to take it, and had an unwanted pregnant, which resulted in an abortion, which caused the anemia. i regret it every day. at first the nexplanon was excellent, it finally helped the blood loss. i haven&#039;t really bled too much, i usually only bleed 1-3 days. but the negative is, i gained 20+ pounds, i get sharp pains in my abdomen, i also get pains where it was implanted, i have no sex drive anymore, headaches and feeling nauseous. as well as mood swings. i&#039;ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and lack of sex drive and mood swings are hurting our relationship. debating on getting it removed or not."
