Birth Control
"I got Nexplanon in January, and the doctor assured me the side effects would go away after 2-4 months. It&#039;s now September, and there&#039;s no end in sight. I have literally bled constantly (either on my period or heavy spotting) every single day for 8 months. Now I&#039;m on my period and it&#039;s lasted 2 wks and it just keeps going, so I&#039;m getting the implant taken out. I&#039;m fed up. 



I also got moderate, daily headaches for the first 6 months, periods of acne off and on, and I&#039;ve been more moody and depressed. Yes, it&#039;s great that I don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill every day. But I have to remember to wear a pad/tampon, and b/c of the moods and bleeding I&#039;ve only had sex a handful of times in the last 8 months. It&#039;s not worth it. I&#039;m done."
