"i got my nexplanon implant out today after being fed up with the heavy spotting since i got it in three months ago. not only was i sick of the everyday spotting, i have been experiencing fatigue, headaches and mood swings. i guess i can&#039;t be on any form of bc including the pills. i am looking forward to being &quot;normal&quot; self. gave it a 6 because it seemed to work at preventing pregnancy. however, i&#039;d rather deal with condoms if that mean no annoying side effects."
