"i&#039;ve had my nexplanon for 18 months. it has prevented pregnancy..... so it gets a score of 10 for that.

i have also been lucky because my periods have all but stopped! love that! 

however, i am trying to get an appointment as i speak to have it removed, for these reasons:

weight gain.... about 20 pounds.

tired, cranky, and depressed (just feel like crap every day).

an increase in rls episodes..... by about 50%.

it wasn&#039;t for me."
