birth control
"I've had nexplanon for a little over a year now. The first year was absolutely amazing: no periods, light acne, no mood swings. It made my life a lot easier not dealing with the stress of monthly cycles. However, after the first year, About a month ago, things have started to change drastically. I have been on my period for 2 weeks now, my mood swings are out of control (I feel like a teenager they way I react), my acne is awful, I've become quite depressed really over nothing, and I don't know if it's just mental but I feel as if I've gained some weight. I know everyone is different, but I would highly consider research before you have this implanted. My life is going completely downhill from the sides effects. i am getting it removed."
