Birth Control
"Nexplanon was a &#039;success&rsquo; for me, in that it turned sex into a bloodbath, and took away my self-esteem to the point where I didn&rsquo;t want sex at all. I had a constant period for the first 10 months, and after that, very irregular cycles (sometimes with adverse PMS mood swings and no period to follow), anxious and depressive episodes, and no sex drive. Some minor changes were that my breasts gained a cup size for the first six months (the only side effect I miss!), and I gained 7lbs within the first three months (not really an issue to me, but I did notice it was difficult to shift, even with a controlled diet and exercise routine). I endured Nexplanon for two months shy of the guideline three years, but I probably won&#039;t opt for it again."
