"i originally got on it because i was about to turn 26 and off of my parents insurance and did not have benefits at my job yet, so i figured i&#039;d get the thing that lasts for 3 years while i could figure everything out. i used to be on the pill before nexplanon.  i&#039;ve been on nexplanon a little over a year.  i had a period last over 3 months when i was first on it.  now they are literally every other week.  my acne is terrible, not just on my face, but chest, back, everything.  my mood is off the wall.  i get intensely depressed when i am on my period or near it on this thing.  i&#039;ll have days where i just want to give up on everything and run away and i&#039;ll hate everyone and everything.  i cant wait to get this thing out.  no pregnancies though."
