Birth Control
"I got my nexplanon may 14th 2015... The insertion wasn&#039;t as bad as I thought but when I got the shot to numb my arm , it burned pretty bad. After , I bruised for a week and could not hold anything heavy in my hand without my hand shaking and the item falling for about 3 days. I kept the gauze wrapped for much longer then 3 days. Once I removed it , I bruised again. (Then again I have a fairly light complexion) The week after I had constant headaches (I almost never get headaches) and frequent break outs, and mood swings especially with the implant and my period combined. One moment I&#039;m mad and the other I&#039;m laughing about it. But it&#039;s been almost 3 weeks and I no longer have headaches or break outs other then I normally used to have. But I have been having that &quot;end of the period blood&quot; for six days now. Extremely annoying!  The on the edge anger still remains but I think it&#039;s helped me speak my mind more easily lol I&#039;m 19 and could never get past 120 lbs. , I now weigh 135. And I&#039;m so excited for the weight gain, just hope it&#039;s not excessive!!!! Oh and I do feel bloated and tired sometimes..but I gave it a 9 for not having to remember the pill and 99% effectiveness towards not getting pregnant"
