"the first 3 years i was on nexplanon i had no problems, except for when i first got it interested i bled for 6 months straight (very light). then after that everything was fine. after the 3 years were up i decided to get another one inserted since i had no major problems with the first one. that&#039;s when it went downhill. i gained about 20 pounds, became anxious about everything, moods began to change, also had severe pain in my ovaries. i got an ultrasound to make sure there weren&#039;t any cysts and everything was normal but i continued to have severe pain. finally, i decided to get it removed and everyting has been good so far no more pain, moods are better, and i&#039;ve lost weight."
