birth control
"I have had this birth control for going on 4 years. Just had a new one put in. The only bad thing I can say about it is I did gain weight but the actual birth control didn't make that actually happen. All it does is increase your hunger. So if you manage that and not eat all the time or unhealthy foods and exercise regularly then maintaining weight shouldn't be a problem. Definitely not the birth controls fault. Also, there was some irregular bleeding but only the last 6 months of the 3 years. There was joint pain, but my doctor said it shouldn't have been related. However, nothing some icy hot and normal stretching couldn't fix! Nexaplanon is totally worth it! I'd rather bleed than have a child at a young age!"
