birth control
"I had the Nexplanon put in on March 2014. When I first got it in it felt like my nerves were being pinched whenever I would bend my arm. On top of that, I had horrible mood swings and heavy periods that would last up to 3 weeks. Now that I'm onto my second year I have a lot of random spotting, I've lost my sex drive, and I gained a lot of weight. Had to go on this BC because I'm really bad with pills and it seemed really nice because I wouldn't have to worry about it after getting it out in. Still not too sure how I feel about it. I know some girls who've been on it for years with no problems. But the fact that my periods came back makes me worry that it's becoming less effective."
