"i had my nexplanon inserted july 2016 after an accidental pregnancy and subsequent abortion. at first, the implant seemed like a dream. my period disappeared for the first three months. i did notice that my appetite was near nonexistent, which is not ideal for an active person. i went from working out 6 days a week to barely feeling good enough for the quick bike ride to work. as the months went on, my period got crazy - 14 day cycles - until this past month&#039;s 11 day period. over the course of the last 8 months, i&#039;ve forgotten who i am; my depression and anxiety have been surfacing much more frequently and i&#039;ve gained 10 pounds. i got the implant out 2/21, and now i have the worst nausea of my life. i just want to feel like myself again."
