"i had nexplanon put in on 9/30/15. it is now 10/29 and i am ready to cut the damn thing out of my arm. for the past month, i have cried almost every day, sometimes more than once. i have had my period for 12 days now, and there is no sign of it stopping. the acne is horrible, along with feeling as if i am going to pass out many times a day, headaches, and nausea. overall, i would say i spent 6/7 days per week being unhappy. i am making an appointment to have it removed immediately. i didn&#039;t think these side effects were so common, or i wouldn&#039;t have gotten this. this bc was my last option as i cannot take estrogen pills, and don&#039;t want to get a shot in fear that it will affect me as nexplanon has."
