Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had the nexplanon implant for about a year now and I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, it worked great in the aspect of me not getting pregnant, however I did gain about 20 pounds since getting the implant.  It&#039;s also made it almost impossible for me to lose any weight, I&#039;ve been exercising, eating healthy, etc. At first I would get a lot of headaches but they&#039;ve died down now, and I&#039;ve also been very &quot;gaggy,&quot; any little smell, texture, or sight of something gross makes me gag a lot. The one thing that&#039;s been keeping me from having it removed is the fact that I only get my period about 3-4 times a year. I used to have very painful cramps and heavy bleeding but since getting the implant my periods have been a lot lighter."
