Birth Control
"I&#039;m 20 and I got Nexplanon 8 months ago. First 6 months I bled constantly (although it was light it was still a huge pain in the ass) but I stuck it out because my GP said it would take 4-6 months for my body to fully adjust. I&#039;ve gained about 30lbs. I have terrible mood swings, I get angry very easily, and I also have a very low sex drive, so my relationship is suffering. Since the initial 4-6 month period, I&#039;ve had terrible acne which I&#039;ve never suffered from before, and I&#039;ve had discharge and regular spotting. At least it has been effective, since the weight gain, low sex drive and acne has pretty much made me never want to have sex again, but I cannot wait to get it taken out of my arm.. although I hear that&#039;s the worst bit!!"
