Birth Control
"I got nexplanon in June 2015 because it seemed like it would be easy and private rather than having to take the pill every and not having to carry it with me on vacation with family members and such. My gynecologist told me it would stop my period after 6 months and it would be slightly irregular until then. Well 2 weeks after I received it, I started spotting nonstop for the next month. I then stopped for 2 weeks again but then I started spotting again and have not stopped since. Also, I have gained 6 lbs so far. I was at 154 and was able to maintain my weight for a whole year until I began this birth control and it seems no matter what I can&#039;t get this weight off. I do also feel bloated ALL THE TIME. Needless to say, it&#039;s coming out soon."
