"i am getting the nexplanon removed tomorrow and i can not wait!! i started the birth control in october of 2015 and the first 6 months was completely fine. this past year or so has been horrible!! i have been on my period for the past few months on and off. i have no idea when it is going to come or go.  as if that&#039;s not bad enough, i have been depressed/ very irritated. i cry every day about the tiniest things that make me upset. before i started this birth control i was not an emotional person at all. now i cry all the time. it makes me feel like i&#039;m truly depressed but i don&#039;t have anything to be sad about. i have zero sex drive as well because i am always so tired and just not in the mood. can&#039;t wait to get rid of this thing!!"
