"nexplanon made me gain over 30ibs. i get ridiculous cravings, crazy mood swings, and all i ever want to do is sit and watch tv since getting it in. i&#039;ve never had any other kind of birth control, besides the earlier version implanon, which i thought was better, but still had its flaws, but the hubby and i are considering a vasectomy because my experience with this birth control.

side effects: major weight gain, cravings, it made me feel hungrier than i actually was, cramping, boob tenderness to where i thought i may have gotten pregnant, suicidal thoughts, and weird bleeding patterns. 

i got it out about 3 weeks ago, and felt a boost in my mood the day after. still haven&#039;t been able to drop any weight though."
