"i have had nexplanon inserted in my left arm for the last year and two months. the only upside was that since then i did not get pregnant and did not have my period, other than that i disliked it and do not recommend it. it made me gain 15 pounds of weight my eating and exercise have stayed the same, i believe it&#039;s the hormones that made me very depressed, many times i felt like i no longer wanted to exists. i couldn&#039;t care if i lived or not. the littlest of things would make me cry even in public and i&#039;m not the type to cry in front of anyone. my anxiety levels were also elevated and i didn&#039;t know what ever cause for this to happen. im getting it removed today i want my sanity back."
