"i have been on the pill since i was 15 and decided to switch to the shot last year because my insurance didn&#039;t cover nexplanon.  at the start of 2013 they started covering it so i got it.  the first month i was super moody and depressed.  the next 5 months were terrible!  i had acne, hair loss, &amp; weight gain.  i almost got it taken out but my doctor said to give it more time.  he was right, after 8 months, the acne calmed down, i stopped losing hair and i haven&#039;t had a period since!  i love this thing, and i highly recommend it over the iud which apparently always moves and hurts really bad.  just give it time to mix with your body, no pain no gain ladies!"
