birth control
"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted on May 30th, 2013. My husband works abroad so we didn't want to risk a pregnancy when we weren't living together all the time.



The insertion was pain free and I had minimal bruising. The entire 3 years I had very few bleeds, if any. That's about where the good parts of Nexplanon end for me.



It was only after the implants removal three weeks ago that I realise how badly it affected me the entire time. I had severe mood swings, depression and anxiety, and at the time didn't chalk it up to the fact I had the implant. Since its removal, my family have seen a dramatic difference in me."
