"i got the nexplanon in december 2015 and im getting it removed july 2016 i&#039;m 19 i&#039;ve gained 30 lbs in the past 6 months with my diet improving and more expertise it&#039;s impossible to lose hopefully getting rid of it will help. i&#039;ve also started getting really bad acne ( normally i don&#039;t have any)  it&#039;s done it&#039;s job but i don&#039;t recommend it. in this case the birth control came at a cost."
