"i got my nexplanon in on nov 17th 2014...first time i bled it was like i was allergic to my own menstural..it was dry and very itchy for the first 2-3 months. i bled for 7 months straight with 1 month off and another two months bleeding before i finally decided it wasn&#039;t gonna work for me. i had it removed today-9/23/15.  i felt like a moody,hormonal teenager all over again. constant headaches,kept me in an agitated mood. 25 pound weight gain, continuous acne and uncontrollable cravings..it was horrible. i even became depressed and tried to commit suicide. luckily i have a lovely spouse who kept me from going forward with that. sure, it kept me from conceiving but i truly regret considering this birth control implant!!!!"
