birth control
"I had Nexplanon inserted in July of 2014-- so about 7 months ago. The insertion was easy although I had random throbbing pains in my arm every so often afterwards. I was on a routine 29 day cycle with a 3 day HEAVY period before the implant. The first three months my periods were every two weeks, then every 5, and they were 7-10 days long and heavy the whole time. My moods were all over the place, I had acne, I gained 7 pounds, and my sex drive was destroyed. Now, I love it! My periods are light and back to about 5 days- and they come every 40 days ish. My sex drive is back full force- very light cramping- a bit of nausea after any alcohol. otherwise, solid choice-would get it again! Bonus, Im not pregnant! Its doing its job!"
