birth control
"I had a heavy period that lasted a good 3 weeks, beginning 2 days after insertion. Irregular periods for a while (boo), zero cramps (yay!). After a few months, I have light spotting for maybe 3/4 days per month & it is painless. Gained about 10lbs but not really an issue for me. I had manageable depression before getting Nexplanon(etonogestrel). Now I have severe mood swings, depressed mood on a regular basis, had my 1st panic attack over something silly, also having impulse control issues. Seeing a psychologist now. They think I should wait it out but I am done living like this. I really do think Nexplanon made my depression & anxiety so much worse. Getting it removed this week. Be sure to discuss history of depression before getting this!"
