"i am 36 yrs old and i have had my nexplanon for almost 3 years now (2 months shy) and i have had a couple of the side effects but nothing to bad or i couldn&#039;t work through. i was just talking to my obgyn about setting up my appointment to get it removed and she said they just ok-ed it for 4 years so now i don&#039;t have to worry about anything for another year. i&#039;m a woman so between stress, a 3yr old, financial issues, family problems and baby daddy problems i&#039;m going to be moody, have headaches, bleed irregular sometimes cuz of stress, loss of appetite, get depressed, gain weight so i do recommend it but everyone&#039;s body is different so i have to find what makes u comfortable."
