birth control
"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted into my arm on August 19, 2015 and had it removed June 14, 2016. Since receiving the implant I have gained 20 pounds, with no change in diet, I even started exercising yet I had a steady weight gain. My pre-existing depression and depersonalization disorder became so severe, ( yes I was already being medicated) that I had to leave school for a semester. My dosage of anti depressants had to be raised, and I became very sick- I had constant urinary tract infections, and had an underlying feeling of just not being well. Though, the implant did succeed in one thing- making sure I didn't become pregnant. My partner and I had unprotected sex throughout my use of Nexplanon and I did not become pregnant."
