"do not get this. it has been a nightmare from day one. first had the nexplanon put in march 2015, and it has ruined my life. i had horrible bleeding constantly that would last for up to 3 weeks. not light bleeding/spotting, straight up gushing blood. i have no sex drive. horrific headaches every day. terrible dizziness. ache. disgusting dandruff. i&#039;m exhausted . have no energy. and i cannot stop gaining weight. this was the worst choice i have ever made and i am finally having it taken out this week. please, i beg you to reconsider if you&#039;re thinking of getting this. it has made me hate myself and feel like i&#039;m becoming psychotic. over a year and a half of misery."
