birth control
"I had nexplanon for a little over a year and at first I was in love with it. It was one less thing to worry about, especially since I was starting my freshman year of college and was in a serious relationship. After a few months I noticed my periods became irregular. I would have them for 18  days and then not have another one for 2-3 months. I also gained about 20lbs on this pill. I partially blame being away from school and drinking more than I did usually. But I was still very active and would exercise every day for at least 1.5-2 hours.
