"i&#039;ve had the nexplanon for a little over a year. before that, i was on depo for about 4 1/2 years. because of the depo i wasn&#039;t having any periods so i didn&#039;t experience any bleeding on nexplanon. but i definitely had a decreased sex drive, i didn&#039;t even let my boyfriend touch me because it just seemed off putting. my weight also ballooned. i gained 60 lbs in the matter of a few months (i am not exaggerating). for the purpose of stopping pregnancy, it definitely works, but i&#039;m moody, depressed, fat and just plain unhappy with everything. i&#039;m calling my doctor today to have it removed."
