"i had implanon (now nexplanon) for 2 years before having it removed solely due to the fact i was donating eggs and could not be on any form of birth control during that time. i absolutely love this form of birth control, nothing to remember to take, out of sight out of mind. i&#039;ve recently gone back on it and still prefer it. as with any form of birth control, there is weight gain involved over the course of time, however, it&#039;s still a phenomenal form of birth control. i do have a slew of mental illnesses (bpd, gad (anxiety), dysthymia (chronic depression), and spd) and note the nexplanon did not have an effect on my mental state (though a family member did mention previously i wasn&#039;t as irritable whilst on birth control). i would recommend nexplanon."
