Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had Nexplanon for 11 months. What has been most noticeable is that my period won&#039;t come for 4 months, and then it will last for 2 weeks, heavy at first then lingering forever. What wasn&#039;t as noticeable was my acne spreading all across my back and down my buttocks. Until one day you just realize- that wasn&#039;t there before Nexplanon. Also, not as noticeable at first- I&#039;ve gained weight steadily. I now weigh 18 pounds more than I did when I first got it and can only fit in one pair of jeans. Because of the acne and the weight gain, I&#039;m having it removed in a few weeks."
