"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for almost 2 years now, i got it a few months after giving birth. it has worked so far in preventing pregnancy. here is a list of my side effects. 

1. weight gain: i had lost all my baby weight. have gained 20 pounds. not all at once, but gradually. my diet was not the cause of the weight gain, i have not changed my diet. so i&#039;m adding weight gain as a side effect.

2. depressed mood:  mood swings. i get depressed and in funk a lot easier.

3. lack of energy:  i have found myself chugging down more coffee to keep afloat. i&#039;m always tired.

4. low libido: i naturally have high testosterone and was always interested in sex,  but with nexplanon i&#039;m  not very interested in sex. like now, i can careless about being intimate."
