birth control
"My first month on Nexplanon was fine. Then, the period started. I had a constant flow for 7 months. I became exhausted from constantly bleeding. I also experienced very strong mood swings starting a few months in - I would go from feeling perfectly fine to wanting to cry at the slightest thing and I usually couldn't shake off the negative feelings for the rest of the day. I just had this thing out after 8 months. The removal was painful and took more than half an hour, which isn't that unusual according to my doctor. A fitting end to an awful experience with this device!

I was on the pill for years before this, and never experienced the type of problems caused by the Nexplanon. I wouldn't recommend it."
