Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had the nexplanon implant for just under three months. The beginning had some unpleasant side effects but not much worse than any other hormonal birth control; 9 day moderate to light bleeding but then no period for two months.  Effects that still persist are that my appetite increased noticeably and came with cravings for red meat even though I&#039;ve been a vegetarian for years. I still get a little crampy each month, and migraines. My breasts are usually tender and have increased an entire cup size. I&#039;ve put on about 12 pounds; thats after slacking off on my once regular workout routine. I&#039;m back at the gym and the lbs are coming off, but don&#039;t let it creep up on you.  You absolutely MUST exercise regularly, or you&#039;ll gain weight fast."
