Birth Control
"I had Nexplanon implanted 4 days ago. About 4 years ago, when I was 16, I started to develop multiple, painful ovarian cysts. I was put on Lupron injections to shrink all of my reproductive organs and put me into medically induced menopause. This was required so I can have surgery to remove extra tissues and fibroids left from the cysts. I then was put on the Depo shot to keep the cysts from returning. I had no periods for about 2 1/2 years until I stopped the shot because of side effects. I began to have my period again, but because of the hormone treatments my body was not producing hormones normally. I would then have irregular periods. The Nexplanon has already normalized everything and the wound is healing nicely."
