Birth Control
"I had my nexplanon removed after 2 years. It worked amazingly and I didn&#039;t get pregnant. However, I&#039;ve gained 30 pounds and that&#039;s why I removed it before the time. When I first got it, I was spotting a lot and then my period was abnormal. I could go 4 months without it but then I would get it again. The period irregularlity didn&#039;t bother me but the weight gain made me depressed. I go to the gym and don&#039;t eat too horrible. I&#039;d never gone over my usual weight of 160 but now I&#039;m at 200. I gained 10 pounds within the first year and the other 20 this past year. It was definitely worth it because I didn&#039;t want to risk getting pregnant but I&#039;m at my weight limit. It&#039;s not worth me feeling this way. &amp; I got my period 4 days after the removal!"
