birth control
"This is the worst
Previously I've used the pill (multiple forms) since I became sexually active and while I didn't love having to take it every day, the side effects were minimal.
After having my first child, I had my Nexplanon inserted, thinking it sounded like a great, long term solution to contraception. I knew at first there would be side effects, and they did clear up within a few months. However, the longer I had it in, the worse things got. It's been nearly 2 years now and I have major depression, almost constant bleeding and mood swings I'd almost describe as mania. I experience acne which I've never had to deal with before, my smell 'down there' has changed (no infection or anything) and my sex drive is ZERO. I'm getting it taken out!"
