Birth Control
"So there&#039;s many opinions out there about the Nexplanon/Implanon. When reading everything, always know that ALL BIRTH CONTROL AFFECTS EVERYONE VERY DIFFERENTLY- not 1 person will be affected the same way. I had the implant placed February 2014 and got it removed July 2015- a year and a half. I loved it- at first, I had regular periods and then about 4 months in they would come every now and then but be very light so it was not a problem. At about a year, I stopped having periods altogether... but I also lost my sex drive completely. Being married, it is a very big issue to not have a sex drive. I did gain a little bit of weight, but nothing too crazy. I got it removed before the 3 year mark MAINLY because of my loss of sex drive."
