Birth Control
"I got nexplanon about 3 months ago. My doctor had so much hope in it. I&#039;ve always had irregular periods and that&#039;s why she thought it would work so well. When I got it implanted I was on my period, then it stopped for about a week or so. The next week I&#039;m spotting and before you know it I&#039;m bleeding, spotting, bleeding, spotting. I haven&#039;t had a day go by where I&#039;m not using tampons or pads. I did notice major hair loss and I&#039;ve gained 7 lbs already. I also got a concussion a month ago and I think the nexplanon has made some of the symptoms much worse such as headaches, sleep, mood, and energy level. I&#039;ve been trying to wait it out, but I&#039;m going to call my doctor soon."
