"i got nexplanon inserted december 2014, so it&#039;s been 10 months. at first i loved it. i was always terrible at every birth control method and finally i didn&#039;t have to worry! my periods since the insertion have been fine, no increased acne, and my boobs got bigger. i guess that&#039;s what happens when you gain 30 pounds in less than a year!! i&#039;ve never had a difficult time losing weight, but now it&#039;s near impossible. i&#039;m tired a lot and have no sex drive. also, my bowel movements have not been the same. i&#039;m thinking about removing it at the end of this year because of the weight gain and the lack of sex drive. when i started i was 5&#039;5&quot; at 130lbs. now i&#039;m 160lbs. i wouldn&#039;t mind the weight gain so much if i received a free wardrobe too."
