birth control
"24 year old female. Had this implant for the past half year. Initially thought this was going to be a perfect birth control - it's not a pill so I never forget having to routinely take medicine and it's invisible. You never have to think about it so the sex is spontaneous and worry free. I've had no emotional problems with it, but I started to notice over time my clothes were getting tighter even with no drastic changes in my diet or exercise. Not having a weighing scale at home, I never knew that I had gained 30 pounds on Nexplanon, then another 13 when I had checked again. I went from a steady 132 to a 175 the entire time I've had it in me. If it weren't for the weight gain I would stick with it but I'm getting it out tomorrow."
