"24 year old female. had this implant for the past half year. initially thought this was going to be a perfect birth control - it&#039;s not a pill so i never forget having to routinely take medicine and it&#039;s invisible. you never have to think about it so the sex is spontaneous and worry free. i&#039;ve had no emotional problems with it, but i started to notice over time my clothes were getting tighter even with no drastic changes in my diet or exercise. not having a weighing scale at home, i never knew that i had gained 30 pounds on nexplanon, then another 13 when i had checked again. i went from a steady 132 to a 175 the entire time i&#039;ve had it in me. if it weren&#039;t for the weight gain i would stick with it but i&#039;m getting it out tomorrow."
