birth control
"I had the nexplanon in my arm for the whole 3 years. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me. The worst side effects for me were the hormonal changes! I was very mean and bitchy to everyone. People around me definitely noticed the changes. My periods were HEAVY & lasted a full 7 days if not longer. I would have to use tampons & pads together. I would go through a whole box each month. It made me gain weight & no matter how clean I ate or how hard I worked out the weight would not go away. I also suffered from depression & slight acne. Ladies PLEASE pay attention to your bodies when getting this birth control. It has been a rough 3 years but since my removal I have felt so much better!"
