"i had nexplanon implanted 12/14/15, it&#039;s now 3/30/16, so 3.5 months. my appt to get it out is in 2 days. i hate it. at first i bled nonstop for 7 wks- literally half the time i&#039;ve had it. then when the bleeding finally went away (after a separate prescription of hormones) i started gaining weight. i&#039;ve gained 10-15 lbs (i stopped weighing myself- it was too depressing). i haven&#039;t changed my eating habits and even started working out regularly, which i&#039;ve never had to do, and still my weight climbed. in addition, my skin has been horrible. i haven&#039;t had acne since high school, but now i break out all over my face/chest/back. my mood is awful and i have zero sex drive- it&#039;s bc because it makes you never want to have sex. terrible experience!"
