"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for 10 months now. i wanted it removed after the first 3 due to acne and major hair loss but my doctor kept convincing me to &#039;wait it out&#039;. after 7 months and still no improvement, i went back to the doctor and yet again she convinced me to keep trying, this was mostly because it is such a reliable form of birth control despite its terrible side effects. for the first 7 months i had not one sign of a period but in these last 3 months i&#039;ve bled every day. throughout the months i&#039;ve had terrible mood swings, depression, devastating hair loss, acne and now prolonged spotting/bleeding all of which are why i am getting my implant out this week."
