"i had the nexplanon implant inserted on may 30th, 2013. my husband works abroad so we didn&#039;t want to risk a pregnancy when we weren&#039;t living together all the time.



the insertion was pain free and i had minimal bruising. the entire 3 years i had very few bleeds, if any. that&#039;s about where the good parts of nexplanon end for me.



it was only after the implants removal three weeks ago that i realise how badly it affected me the entire time. i had severe mood swings, depression and anxiety, and at the time didn&#039;t chalk it up to the fact i had the implant. since its removal, my family have seen a dramatic difference in me."
