Birth Control
"I got Nexplanon put in at the end of March 2016. The first month on it wasn&#039;t too terrible. Light cramping and no period or spotting. In month two I began bleeding and this continued for 3 more months. There wasn&#039;t a period of time when I didn&#039;t have a tampon in. My doctor assured me the bleeding would stop, which it eventually did... for a whole 2 weeks, then 3 more months of bleeding. The worst part is the depression and mood swings though. I lost all motivation to do well in law school and stopped going to the gym entirely. I would freak out on my boyfriend for legitimately no reason and I experienced severe suicidal thoughts. I also gained around 10 pounds. The doctor couldn&#039;t get it out the first time so I&#039;m having outpatient surgery."
