Birth Control
"I got Nexplanon inserted November 2014. My fella and I have never used standard protection and we&#039;ve never gotten pregnant, in nearly 3 years. So, good there.  However, this birth control is horrible. I am healthy, I eat right and workout consistently, for years. I&#039;ve gained 30 pounds since Nov 14. I&#039;ve upped all of my workouts to 3-4 hours, 4+ times/wk with zero change. I&#039;ve never been had such extreme bouts of depression in my life. If not for yoga, meditation and my sweetheart of a fella, I&#039;d lose my mind. I&#039;ve spent a ton on pregnancy tests due to the whacked out side effects, including randomly missed periods. My periods are horrible: cramps, random cycle lengths, never 28 days apart and random spotting. The side effects are horrible."
