"i have had my nexplanon for just over a year. the first 4 months were good, i still got my period on time, it wasn&#039;t as heavy, no cramping. after 4 months i clotted, it was disgusting and still do. it would happen for weeks at a time, stop for a few days and start up. i have completely lost my sex drive, it doesn&#039;t even appeal to me, my depression and anxiety is worse, and now i have horrible insomnia. within the last month my cramping is horrible, i feel like i have cysts on my ovaries again. my bleeding is light but mostly clots. i hate this thing. i got it because i was unsure if my hubby and i would have anymore kids and we&#039;ve decided not too. in two weeks i go see my doctor and i&#039;m going to ask about permanent bc."
