Birth Control
"The first two weeks of being on the nexplanon was the worst. I had my period and my arm from the insertion was hurting like anything for the longest time. One thing I hate about this birth control was the weight gain. I started the nexplanon in May 2014 and ever since then I gained 17 pounds. No matter how healthy I eat or how much I exercise, I cannot lose the weight. Not only was the weight a big downside, but I was so moody all the time and lost my sex drive. The only good thing about this birth control was not having my period for over a year which can also be a scary thing for most people. Also it is 99.9% effective so I felt very safe on nexaplanon. However I do not recommend this birth control option."
