birth control
"I had nexplanon inserted during march of 2015, the first 2 months I noticed no changes. These last 4 months however, I have developed AWFUL acne on my neck and chin and face. It does not go away. I have gained 20 pounds, and have mood swings that are uncontrollable. I am 20 years old and dread going to college everyday as well as work because I am so embarrassed by these side effects. Also, I get my period every other week. Added to that, after sex the 3 days following I bleed. So basically I bleed all month. I have decided to have it removed (it is now September 2015) and I am so excited to be done with this."
