Birth Control
"I&#039;m 32 and have had 2 children.  I had this implant inserted at the end of March and I have gained 20 lbs despite increasing my exercise and decreasing my caloric intake.  It doesn&#039;t help that all the weight is in my belly - it looks like I&#039;m 4-5 months pregnant on any given day.  My OB insists that the Nexplanon shouldn&#039;t be the cause of my weight gain, but I&#039;ve changed nothing else during this time frame.  I&#039;ve also been breaking out a lot more often than I used to.  I realize that it&#039;s a very fail proof birth control, but I can&#039;t take this weight gain any longer.  I can&#039;t wait to get it removed!!"
