Birth Control
"I didn&#039;t have a good experience with nexplanon. I had an implanon before that and had no problems, but this birth control really did a number on my hormones! It caused major depression, terrible acne, crazy mood swings, and low sex drive. If I experienced any stress at all, I would bleed like having my period. I have discussed several other options multiple times with my doctor and decided to try paragard. The doctor recommended trying a hormone free method, because all of the side effects I&#039;ve experienced are results of imbalanced hormone levels. I know paragard causes longer and heavier periods with worse cramping, but that actually doesn&#039;t sound so bad after my nexplanon experience. I want to go back to having regular periods again."
