Birth Control
"I had been on the Depo shot for about 8 years, when I switched to the Nexplanon implant. That was the worst decision I ever made. I had never been so depressed or sore or had to deal with out of control periods until I got it in inserted. I couldn&#039;t deal with it anymore, so I told my doctor that Orthotricyclen Lo had worked well before (I didn&#039;t want to do the shot again for various reasons - mainly work-related) so I requested to be put back on that. I have super predictable periods again, I&#039;m far less depressed than I used to be, and my skin has NEVER been this clear before. The ONLY thing I hate about it is the fact that my breasts hurt all the time. There are very few moments when they don&#039;t hurt. More pros than cons for me, though."
