"i&#039;ve been on nexplanon for about 5 years now, i&#039;m 20. yes, i had this method of contraception at the age of 15. i can say i am still bittersweet with this birth control my sex drive is almost non existent, and my mood as hit an all time low. i never experienced any weight issues but the fact that it exaggerated my anxiety and depression i never want to eat, or get up and be apart of the world. i&#039;ve never been pregnant so i guess it does its job however when my body does send the message to me that i&#039;m not pregnant  (my period) i&#039;m bleeding for 2 weeks sometimes more, i use to have 4 day periods and would never experience cramps now i feel like my uterus is being pulled out of my vagina day in and day out and that&#039;s before the bleeding."
