Birth Control
"21 years old, I got Nexplanon put in 6 months ago, on Sept. 4th 2013. Before that I was on the Depo-Provera shot, which made me break out all over my chest and back, and the jawline - hormonal areas for acne. I cannot take estrogen birth control because of migraine issues, and so progestin only was the option for me. Nexplanon PROS: Periods stopped completely, did not affect my mood - always felt like myself, very effective method of birth control so I did not have to use condoms. CONS: Weight gain of 7lbs in 6 months, and the biggest con of all. ACNE, ACNE, ACNE! I used to have clear skin, even before I went on estrogen birth control. I would have stuck to Nexplanon if it did not give me a pizza face."
