"i started the nexplanon november of 2013. from there my period was crazy and out of control. i started getting acne and my sex drive was down to the ground! i haven&#039;t had sexual intercourse in months because of the prolong period and no sex drive. other than that i love that you don&#039;t have to worry about taking it everyday and that i didn&#039;t gain weight. i had to get it taken out after 6 months, which is today. couldn&#039;t take it anymore."
