birth control
"I have had the nexplanon for 5 months now. I hate it & would not recommend it! I was on BC pills for 3 years, but decided to try something different because the pills tend to give me headaches. I have a scar on my arm from the insert & it's very tender in that area of my arm. I have my cycle 3 weeks out of the month. I was told that my body would have to get use to the Nexplanon but after 3 months everything should be normal. That is not the case! I have gained 10 lbs so far, no sex drive & I am depressed normally all of the time. This was not me before getting the Nexplanon!! I have decided to have it removed & will have my consultation tomorrow. I cannot wait to get back to my BC pills. I rated this a 3 only bc I haven't gotten pregnant."
