birth control
"I got my nexplanon may 14th 2015... The insertion wasn't as bad as I thought but when I got the shot to numb my arm , it burned pretty bad. After , I bruised for a week and could not hold anything heavy in my hand without my hand shaking and the item falling for about 3 days. I kept the gauze wrapped for much longer then 3 days. Once I removed it , I bruised again. (Then again I have a fairly light complexion) The week after I had constant headaches (I almost never get headaches) and frequent break outs, and mood swings especially with the implant and my period combined. One moment I'm mad and the other I'm laughing about it. But it's been almost 3 weeks and I no longer have headaches or break outs other then I normally used to have. But I have been having that "end of the period blood" for six days now. Extremely annoying!  The on the edge anger still remains but I think it's helped me speak my mind more easily lol I'm 19 and could never get past 120 lbs. , I now weigh 135. And I'm so excited for the weight gain, just hope it's not excessive!!!! Oh and I do feel bloated and tired sometimes..but I gave it a 9 for not having to remember the pill and 99% effectiveness towards not getting pregnant"
