"i have had the nexplanon for about 19 months. i have to admit, i &quot;loved&quot; it!! no period all this time and does its job. 

the bad......the last 7-8 months have been horrible!! huge mood swings, depression, anxiety, and for the past 6 months i have gained 35lbs!!! i cry every single day about stuff i would normally never cry about. at times it could be just a tear up or could go full blast, enter panic attack type crying spell. i am looking into getting it removed now."
