Birth Control
"I got my Nexplanon in December 2013. Two weeks after I got the implant I began bleeding. But not so much bleeding as heavy spotting. And it has lasted for months. It&#039;d disappear for only a few days at a time and come right back. I think that&#039;s been the worst part. Now in June 2014, I think the spotting is starting to subside. Thank goodness. I&#039;ve read a lot of reviews of girls saying they lost their sex drive. I think mine actually increased. I&#039;ve also gained a little weight. 5-10 lbs. My breasts grew too. And they&#039;re tender a lot. A new side effect that&#039;s gotten pretty out of control lately has been my mood swings (I cry over any little thing, I&#039;m emotional about EVERYTHING) and the nausea (NOT FUN)."
