"i went with the nexplanon when i was bout 10 weeks post partum because it is one of the few birth controls that are safe while breastfeeding and i had the implanon for the full 3 years prior to being pregnant and loved it. well i hate the nexplanon... ever since i got it put in my arm i have been gaining weight and haven&#039;t been able to lose it no matter what i do, my acne has never been worse, my anxiety has never been higher and the mood swings are terrible. i will not recommend this to anyone anymore. i have called and its scheduled to be removed next week."
