"i was super excited to get this birth control because i wouldn&#039;t have to worry with taking a pill. mirena or any iud was not an option for me. wouldn&#039;t have that if my life depended on it! anyways, i had the nexplanon places aug 6, 2015. today is dec 31, 2015 and i&#039;m planning on having it removed soon! first off, i have had brown discharge since the day it was placed.. and have only have maybe one period. there literally hasn&#039;t been a day that i haven&#039;t had to wear either a panty liner or a pad due to the discharge. second, i have had headaches at least 4 days a week since i had my bc placed. third, my mood swings are crazy!! however i have always been the type to get aggravated easily, i&#039;ve never been this hateful! over it!!!!!!!!"
