"this has been the worst experience with birth control i&#039;ve ever had. from 2 month long periods, to having the worst acne of my life at 23, i wouldn&#039;t recommend this to my worst enemy. if i could give zero stars, i would. since the moment i&#039;ve gotten nexplanon, i&#039;ve been broken out so bad with painful, cystic acne that no miracle of skin care or diet seems to touch. before this, i&#039;ve always taken the pill, and would occasionally get a pimple or two, but i&#039;ve never had an ongoing problem with acne until now, at 23 years old... i also get random pains in my arm where the implant is, and i have to be careful not to stretch my arm out too far, or bump it on things. i also have much worse mood swings. now counting down the days until it&#039;s removed"
