birth control
"I had my Nexplanon inserted July 2016 after an accidental pregnancy and subsequent abortion. At first, the implant seemed like a dream. My period disappeared for the first three months. I did notice that my appetite was near nonexistent, which is not ideal for an active person. I went from working out 6 days a week to barely feeling good enough for the quick bike ride to work. As the months went on, my period got crazy - 14 day cycles - until this past month's 11 day period. Over the course of the last 8 months, I've forgotten who I am; my depression and anxiety have been surfacing much more frequently and I've gained 10 pounds. I got the implant out 2/21, and now I have the worst nausea of my life. I just want to feel like myself again."
