"i was on nexplanon for a year. let me just say that it was so bad. sex was excruciatingly​ painful i gained a total of 60 lbs on it. in the 3 years i&#039;ve been off of it i&#039;ve managed to only lose 20lbs. i was  moody and had really  bad depression. did do its job, yes. was it worth the side effects, no. 
this was my experience on it, however everybody is different."
