"had nexplanon for a little over a year and a half. no period which was great, but the weight gain was awful. i was always around 130 and i went to get it removed today and weighed 159. ridiculous. it was nice to not have to take a pill. but i noticed a loss of energy and depression from the weight gain. just haven&#039;t felt like myself. as for preventing pregnancy it&#039;s great..but i won&#039;t be getting it again. i pray that i can lose this weight now.."
