"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 4 months. it has been effective in preventing pregnancy, and not having to take a pill is convenient. but that&#039;s where the pros end.

a couple weeks after having it inserted, my mood swings were off the chart. i was snapping at everyone for the littlest things. i&#039;ve never had a problem with depression in the 23 years i&#039;ve been alive and have been depressed since i started this birth control.

on top of that, my sex drive is gone. i was crazy, head over heels in love with my husband up until i started this prescription. now i can hardly stand to have him kiss me i&#039;m so turned off. and it&#039;s not him, it&#039;s definitely the nexplanon. definitely getting it removed."
