birth control
"I've had my Nexplanon for 18 months. It has prevented pregnancy..... so it gets a score of 10 for that.

I have also been lucky because my periods have all but stopped! Love that! 

However, I am trying to get an appointment as I speak to have it removed, for these reasons:

Weight gain.... About 20 pounds.

Tired, cranky, and depressed (just feel like crap EVERY DAY).

An increase in RLS episodes..... By about 50%.

It wasn't for me."
