birth control
"At first, I thought Nexplanon was great. The insertion didn't hurt, my insurance covered the entire cost, and I nearly eliminated my chances of getting pregnant for three years. But then the side-effects kicked in. The first couple of months I didn't have a period, but I did have severe mood swings and anxiety. I have seen a significant decrease in my sex drive. And now, six months into the b/c, I have spotting and cramps nearly everyday. On the plus side, I haven't noticed any weight gain, and my acne has cleared up.  



This is a great option for those whose bodies agree with Nexplanon. Mine, however, does not seem to. I'm thinking about getting it removed, but I'm not sure which b/c method to switch to."
