"the summer i graduated from high school, i worked out hard, ate pretty moderate and i lost over 20lbs. went from 158 to around 120. i decided to get on birth control so i chose nexplanon. my periods were very heavy and always random before then, my mood was pretty normal at the start. the plus i have not have a single period. so far i&#039;ve notice symptoms increasing within the last 2 years. i&#039;ve gained the weight i lost slowly overtime. i tried to compensate and work out even harder and eat right but the weight still doesn&#039;t budge. i have high highs and low lows no in betweens. i am starting to lose hair so much theres a few bald spots. for a constant hormonal birth control it does its job but the side effects definitely aren&#039;t worth it."
