birth control
"I had the nexplanon inserted because the IUD literally fell out of me. Found it in my boyfriends bed. No idea how that happened and my Dr recommended this alternative. It did not hurt being put in and for thirteen months I felt at ease,  no period,  no side effects. It was great. Around the thirteen month mark,  I got my first period. It was heavy,  with all the terrible side effects. This went on for three months..  Non stop heavy bleeding,  I was hormonal,  angry,  in pain,  acne,  ten pound weight gain...it was terrible. My doctor put me on some estrogen pills and it worked but my breasts were extremely tender where it hurt to move. Finally after three months of this, it was removed. The bleeding stopped. I feel normal again!"
