"i had the nexplanon in for about 8 months and i wish i had never gotten it. i did avoid pregnancy, but the negative side affect of hair loss was too much. it never fell out in clumps, just excessive shedding. at first i didn&#039;t put the pieces together, but now, 7 months later, i wish i had taken action sooner. i have lost about half of my hair (that hurts to even type) but its true. www.bedsider.com even lists hair loss as one of the side effects, but i didn&#039;t know that until today, the day i got it removed. this product might not effect every one in the same way, but i am so, so upset with nexplanon and myself for not being more proactive. do tons of research before getting this implant. you will thank yourself."
