Birth Control
"Had the nexplanon since July 2015 the first month of having it was fine the second month hit and my period began and did not stop until the third month hit.  My periods usually last a few days but a month long heavy period was just crazy.  I was losing hair gaining weight having awful mood swings and becoming depressed. I consulted with my doctor to have it removed, she didn&#039;t want to remove and wanted me to come back a few months later to see if things would change. Now three months later I&#039;ve gained 20 lbs and the periods have become worse! By the end of my period I have zero energy. My sex drive has come back surprisingly but everything is still the same. It has prevented pregnancy but I do not prefer this type of birth control."
