"i&#039;ve had it for 2, almost 3 years now and i&#039;m debating if i should get another implant when the time comes.  i haven&#039;t had a period the entire time,  so that&#039;s a plus i guess.  my side effects change every month.  (ex: oily face / back  which lead to acne one month, random cramps no blood the next month, constant  headaches and moodiness the next,  and so on). my depression actually worsened while on it. i also noticed i began having panic attacks a month after getting the implant. all of these don&#039;t really compare to what really bugs me about this form of birth control. i&#039;ve gained almost 40 pounds since being on nexplanon.  i&#039;ve been on diets and everything. it just gets worse. but at least i&#039;m not pregnant right?"
