Birth Control
"I just got my nexplanon out today and begin taking Yaz on Sunday. My implant was great in the fact that it did its job- I had no pregnancy scares with my boyfriend and felt relieved that I won&#039;t be needing to buy any pregnancy tests for scares. However- I had SEVERE weight gain. 50 pounds to be exact over the course of 2 and a half years. After the holidays I decided to make a change because I was just not happy with myself. I also didn&#039;t have my period... I was on it the day of insertion and maybe 2 days later.... But that was it. I didn&#039;t have a period for 2 and a half years. My doctor said this is why she doesn&#039;t recommend the implant, and says the pill is generally a better way to go. 

We will see how Yaz treats me. I&#039;m a little nervous about the loss in sex drive. But, hopefully everything works out for the best. Good luck to you!"
