birth control
"I got nexplanon about 3 months ago. My doctor had so much hope in it. I've always had irregular periods and that's why she thought it would work so well. When I got it implanted I was on my period, then it stopped for about a week or so. The next week I'm spotting and before you know it I'm bleeding, spotting, bleeding, spotting. I haven't had a day go by where I'm not using tampons or pads. I did notice major hair loss and I've gained 7 lbs already. I also got a concussion a month ago and I think the nexplanon has made some of the symptoms much worse such as headaches, sleep, mood, and energy level. I've been trying to wait it out, but I'm going to call my doctor soon."
