"i got the nexplanton about 6 months ago and do not recemend it !!! , i knew one of the side effects would be weight gain and that was my biggest fear , i went gym 3 times a week and ate healthy , it was only then i realised none of it mattered and that only after 6 months i had put on 2 stone !!! i&#039;m now very uncomfortable with my own body and can&#039;t wait to get it removed !!!!!"
