"i hate this birth control!!! i had my nexplanon put in august 2013 and just had it removed july 2015. honestly i don&#039;t see how i kept it that long. i had crazy mood swings always emotional and on the verge of crying about any and everything. but that&#039;s not even the worse part prior to getting this birth control i had started my weight lost journey to better myself and had happily lost 70lbs! then i got this birth control and my weight loss went straight to hell basically. almost 2 years on this i have gained all my weight back plus some. the only good thing about this is i didn&#039;t get pregnant but from all the weight gain i&#039;m super depressed now. hopefully now that it&#039;s out i can lose the weight again."
