Birth Control
"I had the implanon for 3 years before getting Nexplanon. The doctors told me Nexplanon was the same as implanon, but it&#039;s definitely not. On implanon, I gained some weight over the 3 years (probably 15 lbs) but I was able to lose it with exercise. The Nexplanon is terrible. I&#039;ve gained probably 30 lbs since I had it put in in January 2014. I&#039;m moody and have no sex drive. I exercise regularly and eat fairly well. I keep gaining weight and I hate it. I love the convenience of this birth control but I can&#039;t handle the side effects. I&#039;m giving it 3 more months to see if my body can adjust to it but if not.....I&#039;m done. Whatever they changed from implanon to Nexplanon was a terrible decision."
