Birth Control
"I was on the Depo Shot for 3 years and wanted to try something new. I was on my period when the Nexplanon was inserted. About 30 minutes after insertion, my period stopped. I&#039;ve been on it for a year and still haven&#039;t had a period yet. It does excellent at preventing pregnancy. I&#039;ve gained just 3 pounds and my weight has seemed to level out. On Depo, I was gaining 3 pounds each couple of months. My hair is very curly and thick but the hair loss is kinda freaky when showering. I&#039;ll comb it and globs of it are on the brush. Besides that, I have no other issues. Every body is different. I&#039;m glad I chose this to protect me during college."
