Birth Control
"I have had nexplanon for about a year and a half now, and I think it&rsquo;s worth it. The only thing is I get a lot of spotting but it doesn&rsquo;t bother me because I just wear panty liners every day. Sometimes the spotting stops for months at a time and I get pregnancy symptoms like breast soreness and lower back pain, which can really freak me out but the spotting always comes back. I would definitely say the worst side effect I&rsquo;ve gotten is the weight gain. I gained 30 pounds while on nexplanon and I work out every day and maintain a healthy diet. All in all, birth control is always going to have negative side effects, and it&rsquo;s really up to you if you want to put up with it or not. Every person reacts differently so I would give it a try."
