Birth Control
"I got Nexplanon in May 2015. It&#039;s October and I&#039;m starting to pinpoint side effects. I used to have a moderately heavy period 1-2 times a &quot;month&quot; and now I no longer have any period at all. I mainly picked Nexplanon because I cannot trust myself to remember to take a pill every day and on that, it&#039;s been great. My partner and I had more than regular sex and this has done its job as a contraceptive. Now that my partner and I are long distance and I no longer have sex, I&#039;ve contemplated having this removed. While no period at all is wonderful, some of my negative side effects are not. Loosing weight is hard and my mood swings cause me to cry almost at whim. I might be depressed but this my be aiding the depression."
