birth control
"I've had Nexplanon for 3 years. I stopped having periods after the first six months, and that's been great. It's very effective. The major downside: I got terrible acne, on my face, chest, and back with Nexplanon. I never used to break out before (I'm 21). I wouldn't say it made me gain weight, but the weight I have gained is almost impossible to lose. I think I will take a break from it just because I want my skin to go back to normal. If you have severe period cramps like I did, I would definitely reccommend."
