"i had nexplanon inserted during march of 2015, the first 2 months i noticed no changes. these last 4 months however, i have developed awful acne on my neck and chin and face. it does not go away. i have gained 20 pounds, and have mood swings that are uncontrollable. i am 20 years old and dread going to college everyday as well as work because i am so embarrassed by these side effects. also, i get my period every other week. added to that, after sex the 3 days following i bleed. so basically i bleed all month. i have decided to have it removed (it is now september 2015) and i am so excited to be done with this."
