birth control
"Before I got the nexplanon, I was in the hospital for anemia due to vaginal blood loss. I was on the pill and kept forgetting to take it, and had an unwanted pregnant, which resulted in an abortion, which caused the anemia. I regret it every day. At first the nexplanon was excellent, it finally helped the blood loss. I haven't really bled too much, I usually only bleed 1-3 days. But the negative is, I gained 20+ pounds, I get sharp pains in my abdomen, I also get pains where it was implanted, I have no sex drive anymore, headaches and feeling nauseous. As well as mood swings. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and lack of sex drive and mood swings are hurting our relationship. Debating on getting it removed or not."
