"i got my nexplanon on 04/21/2016 and haven&#039;t stopped bleeding since. luckily it&#039;s not heavy bleeding it&#039;s light, but the downside is it makes my blood smell bad i know tmi but i just want to put that out there for those considering this form of birth control. i used to have a head full of hair but since i&#039;ve been on the nexplanon i&#039;ve noticed that i&#039;ve been losing so much hair to the point that when i put my hair in a ponytail you can see the side of my scalp a little. i haven&#039;t had mood swings, weight gain or a decrease in sex drive. just the bleeding a hair loss have been my major issues. having it taken out 06/24/2016, i don&#039;t think i can handle anymore of this!"
