Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had Nexplanon for about 4 months now. The first few months were great, no bad side effects and I didn&#039;t get my period at all. Then this month I started spotting (about 12 days ago) and it hasn&#039;t stopped yet. It&#039;s actually gotten heavier like a normal period and I&#039;m having a lot of cramping. My skin has gotten a lot worse in the last month when it was pretty clear before. I have also lost weight and my appetite has decreased, not sure if it&#039;s from the birth control but I think it could be. I&#039;m going to wait a few more months to see if these side effects continue/get worse before deciding whether or not to go back to the pill. At least it is effective as a birth control, as I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant."
