"i got the nexplanon implanted in april of 2016. i had long periods that were pretty heavy so i needed a bc to help regulate things. i&#039;m bad at remembering to take pills every day at the same time so when my dr recommended this iud i happily accepted. after insertion i didn&#039;t get a period until month 4 and it was about 5 days long and really light. haven&#039;t seen one since and i love that part but now i&#039;m completely done and want it removed. i have horrible cystic acne on my face, neck, back and shoulders that i&#039;ve never had and it hurts like hell. my skin has gone from smooth to bumpy and rough all over my body. i get headaches all the time and my anxiety and depression have sky rocketed due to this terrible acne and the 30 pounds i&#039;ve gained"
