Birth Control
"24 year old female. Had this implant for the past half year. Initially thought this was going to be a perfect birth control - it&#039;s not a pill so I never forget having to routinely take medicine and it&#039;s invisible. You never have to think about it so the sex is spontaneous and worry free. I&#039;ve had no emotional problems with it, but I started to notice over time my clothes were getting tighter even with no drastic changes in my diet or exercise. Not having a weighing scale at home, I never knew that I had gained 30 pounds on Nexplanon, then another 13 when I had checked again. I went from a steady 132 to a 175 the entire time I&#039;ve had it in me. If it weren&#039;t for the weight gain I would stick with it but I&#039;m getting it out tomorrow."
