"honestly my time on nexplanon was awful. my period was irregular but when i got it the bleeding would last for 3 weeks at a time. i had to have a tampon in 24/7. i followed my typical eating habits and workout schedule and gained at least 20 lbs in a 6 month time span. i got the worst acne of my life honestly so bad and had literally zero sex drive so there was no point for this thing. my mood swings were insane and i honestly felt like a different person. i kept waiting to get it out thinking these things would have to resolve but nope never did. thank goodness my removal was easy! i got it out and things went back to normal relatively quickly. i know everyone reacts differently to birth control but i would not recommend even risking it"
