"i had the nexplanon put in june of 2015 and it has just gotten worse as the months roll on. at first the only side effect i noticed was a change in my mood swings. it went from pms right before my period to all the time. then i started getting worst cramps then i had before, which were bad already. next i started to lose more hair than normal and getting acne worse than i usually do. as of right now i no longer have periods and they weren&#039;t generally messed up timing wise when i was first put on it though. i am more generally mad that my ob did not warn me about these side effects in the first place though. i would love to get it removes but now my insurance no longer covers it and i haven&#039;t really decided what i&#039;m going to do."
