Anyone who asks me what type of birth control they should be on I automatically tell them that whatever you choose, just DO NOT go with then Nexplanon! Idk if they changed anything with it, but the first time I had it everything was completely fine. When I had to get it replaced, it was a whole different story! I got it replaced Jan 2019 and I suffered horrible mood swings and sudden weight gain. I could go from being happy-go-lucky to screaming and ready to pick a fight or extremely depressed. I was also constantly bleeding and my cycle was way out of wack. Within a couple days of having it taken out, I was finally becoming my normal self. I am so happy that you made a video about this!!
Thank you Taylor! It was one of the worst things I could have done to my body. My situation was very similar to yours and I would never recommend the nexplanon now that I’ve experienced it!
I just mines off today! And I am so happy I did because my side effects were weight gain, and then acne, spotting a lot like every two weeks! Low sex drive! And most of all depression with dark thoughts, intrusive thoughts, feeling insane and crazy, high anxiety and some suic*dal thoughts… worst ever! And I don’t want be on anti depressants I want use that as my last source but know this implant affected me a lot
I experienced MASSIVE hair loss, arm cramping from the same arm as the placement. My 3 years are up next month in April. I can’t wait for the removal. Oh yeah also 50 lb weight gain also in 3 years. It’s been a lot.
I haven't watch this one yet but I will! I am on my 4th implant. I've had it since they came out as the implannon. Weight gain has been my biggest enemy with it. But the IUDs scare me and so did tubals! I love your channel! You're amazing!
I’m on Nexplanon and it has made me gain so much weight over the past couple of years I wish the doctors would be more honest about the weight gain with the birth control
Anyone experience extreme fatigue symptoms? I am a very active and healthy person and I've had it for a year. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get or if I have caffeine. I feel like I can't stop being tired.
The fatigue got worse the longer I had it. By year 4 I was in so much physical and emotional pain. Irregular bleeding, extreme cramps, exhaustion, mood swings, acne... the list goes on...
I feel the exact same i just got it out on friday (sunday today as commenting) and I already have more energy than i did for the last 3 years i thought it was so weird to me because my daughter sleeps through the night and has since 3-5 months old so i’m not missing out on sleep but i always get up and then do a few things then put her for a nap and then nap myself because i can’t keep my eyes open it’s crazy now i’m like how the fuck did i last all day without a nap
being a 17 year old and getting it it gave me HORRIBLE acne, i’ve got my period since i was 11, my period was just horrible so the pills didn’t do it for me, then i got it BAD BAD BAD idea. made me super depressed and angry. i actually LOST weight and hair too. just got it removed and the doctor didn’t want me to remove it i’m like oh yes i do it has ruined my life. just got it out :)
@@fredajuan3294 its been a little over a year since I got it removed and I switched back to birth control pills! My face is clear and I am no longer depressed as I was before.
Mine literally bent in half in my arm. When I told the dr I wanted it removed he argued with me. I told him it was bent and he felt it and was certain it wasn’t. You could see it bent in my arm. When he finally agreed to remove it he refused to let me see it saying “wasn’t even slightly bent” he was a doctor in sulpher springs I live in Dallas and he had upset me prior to that cause when I had found out I was pregnant he chastised me about not being married and that I have disability’s.. he’s the one that put it in. After all that I changed drs when I moved here to Dallas cause he was.. well he didn’t have good bedside manners
I just got mine removed yesterday! I was having 3 to 4 full on periods a month- cramps and all! It was seriously the worst. On top of that, I gained 18 pounds in a year and a half. I’m excited to see how my body regulates after this!
I'm n this exact same situation. I've being trying to get mine removed since November 2021, but they keep pushing me off. Now it's been expired since January, Ive been to 3 nurse practitioner to get it removed, n they saying it's too deep. Now I have to go to a surgeon 🤦🏿♀️
Omg! I’m so glad I found this video to ease my mind. I got Nexplanon in April/May 2022 and at first I was fine because I didn’t really get any periods…but that was probably due to nursing; because towards the of 2022 I stopped nursing and in January 2023, my period came with a vengeance (heavy bleeding and very painful). I was under a lot of stress so I didn’t think anything of it and in the coming months, I just dealt with it and tried to manage by going to the gym. I also want to mention that I had gained over 20 lbs in a year! Now I do have hypothyroidism, so I was thinking maybe this is a factor. Fast forward to now, I still have the Nexplanon, but I started my period 2 weeks ago, it wasn’t really painful and the flow was medium I’d say…..usually my periods last around 5 days and then tapers off. This has not done that around day 6 it was spotting. And I thought hmmm I’ve been under a lot of stress, ok we will wait another day or so. Well a few days later has gone by and now the flow has actually gotten heavier as if my body doesn’t want to stop the period. And I’m over here low key panicking, but after watching this video, I’m realizing that the Nexplanon is what’s causing all of these problems; and it’s making sooo much sense now. Definitely will be reaching out to my doctor because I really don’t know how this is even ok for women to deal with this. Thank you so much for this video ❤
It's so good to know that I'm not alone in that but also extremely concerning. They must receive money from nexplanon to sell their product, or there must be an incentive. I want a doctor who genuinely cares about me, not ONLY their wallet. 😔
Same! Just got mine removed 3 hours ago lol and she asked me 4 times if I wanted it replaced or another form. I was like “no!! My partner and I talked about this and we are going to use condoms and/or spermicide.” Of course she had to ramble on about the ineffectiveness of my decision. Lady!! I said NO! 😂 my partner and I are in our mid 20s so it’s not even like if a pregnancy happened it would be the end of the world, and bc of my age it felt even weirder, like I was being treated almost like a teenager. I know how this has been making me feel, I know it’s destroying my relationship, so be gone nexplanon! I gave it three years, she kept telling me “this will go away!” Never did.
I wish I had found your video at the time I was doing research... I also felt like my doctor kinda pushed me the Nexplanon, I got it implanted yesterday. They say "it's just a small incision", but the procedure is so agressive - I literally vomit by the time I got out the elevator to the ground floor. When I actually finally read the whole booklet, I saw so many issues... I do have diabetes, high cholesterol, I wear contact lenses, I have mild depression and take St John's Wort for it - I asked so many times if it could affect my treatments for all these, and she said "No.".
ive had mine since July of 2023. I was spotting for 2 months non stop. I really regret getting nexplanon. if you're considering nexplanon let this comment push you away from choosing it. I used to be 145, now I weigh 166.6 in January of 2024. gaining 21 pounds in 6 months isn't a lot but its the differences its made. im incredibly depressed not only because of the hormones but because o the insane change its done to my physical appearance. if you have any issues with body image please don't get this form of birth control. I noticed the weight gain two months ago I was 160. I started by changing my diet PLUS eating less. two and a half weeks ago I started running on the treadmill the famous TikTok 12-3-30 workout. ive been doing it consistently everyday, some days twice a day with included ab work outs. I gained 6 pounds. not only that but my down there area has an odd odor now. I made my appointment to remove my nexplanon Jan 16, 2024. I hope to seee positive changes in my body
I'm getting my nexplanon removed soon due to bleeding which has lasted going on four months. Not spotting, but bleeding, as in wearing a pad 24/7. I can't anymore.
I wish I had known the side effects about the nexplanon prior to getting it. I’ve had it almost 3 years and I’m getting it out tomorrow morning. Gained 80lbs in 6 months (and granted I’ve never been the the healthiest person, but almost 100lbs in less than 6 months?) my period hardly ever comes anymore, but when it does, it lasts for close to a month. Major cramping every week or so. I have hated every single minute of this birth control
Do what makes you comfortable! Everyone experiences. I'm glad my doctor broke everything down from 3-6 months of breakthrough bleeding and all the side effects. The doctor was pushing for the Mirena which i refused.
My side effects after 1 year on it … bloating , acne , arm pain & mood swings ! 😢 the arm pain is what has been worrying me the most is like a numbness that starts on my shoulder to my elbow anyone else ? The pain is not intense but it definitely bothers me can’t put too much pressure or carry too much weight on it as well or it will start aching. This is my second time getting it after 2 miscarriages I thought this would be the best option since I didn’t suffer from the arm pain the first time around . Im calling tomorrow to make an appointment to get it removed I can’t stand it anymore. Being a women is hard enough they need to make safe birth control for us 😢
I had gastric sleeve done n everyone I know lost 70+ plus pounds, I only lost 56!! N it's been 2 years. I think the nexplnon is the reason I haven't lost weight
I got mine removed on the 6th of this month, I been on it for six years, the first three was good for me. But the second three years were really bad. It makes me bleed for 21 days straight. I am done with it never in my life I will use it. When I was getting removed, my doctor told me you know when you get it removed you get pregnant tomorrow . I said told her it’s okay I am fine. I don’t need it.
My name is Sarah Sebastian. I have endometriosis so my doctor put on nexplanon for 3 years and it really helps with my endometriosis symptoms . I had a really good Experience on the nexplanon . My doctor get put a new in a week from today.
I finally get mine removed in two days 😩 I am not allowing them putting me on any birth control anymore . This has been the worst thing my body has EVER experienced 😩😩😖
I literally think they’re paid extra to push certain BC methods. I’ve had so many issues with BC over the years, and I finally settled on an IUD. It’s been working pretty nicely for now. I’ve heard so many issues about Nexplanon 😳
Oh my gosh! I am dealing with the same issue! I got my nexplanon in march of 2021 and I have been bleeding everyday, I called my doctor in August 2021 to let her know I wanted to get my nexplanon removed and my doctor prescribed me birth control pills to take. I haven't taken the pills and I still don't have my nexplanon removed, I want to cry.
This happened to me. After taking the BC pills for about a month the bleeding stopped and i didn’t receive my period for TWO YEARS. I actually loved not having it though!
I wonder what kind of kick back the doctor’s get for certain birth controls. I’m on week 3 of bleeding and I’m exhausted. Plus a new side effect I’m having is that my bleeding smells extremely bad and of strong iron. It’s awful. I can’t find anyone else that has this problem. The cramps and bloating are too much and are not able to taper down with a heating pad and ibuprofen or Midol. I got on this by my doctor because I have fibroids and endometriosis and my bleeding during my periods were out of control but at least it ended after 5 days! This is effed up so I’m calling my doctor today. I’ve been on this for almost 2 months. I have two young kids and this is not okay. I’m too tired to do anything. I was already anemic. Ugh maybe a hysterectomy is next. But I’m 45 so can I hang with this until menopause which is the light at the end of the tunnel??? I don’t know 😭😩🤬🥴😤
I love hearing your experience!! I just got mine out about 3 months ago and feel so much leveled out. However, I still haven’t received my period :( I had my annual Pap smear a week ago and addressed this issue with my OBGYN and she told me this is normal. Not sure if this is something any of y’all have gone through? I’m a little concerned ❤️
Thanks for watching! I’ve heard so many people say they have either lost their period while on it or had a period that lasted forever! I guess it just varies depending on the person 😕
I just had mine removed 3 weeks ago. Before I was having a period and severe cramps every 2 weeks. But sense the removal, I had some spotting for about a week and half, but otherwise no real period to speak of. Just a lot of bloating, brain fog, constipation, and a weird "gas trapped" kinda feeling on my right side.
@satbirgill2181 there was a lot of anxiety, brain fog and those gut issues as I mentioned before. But I couldn't get any weight off that I had gained from the nexplanon. And after 3 months I still hadn't received my period and still had a lot of the same symptoms happening but my libido was higher. Another month and a half go by and I begin feeling even more different.. like flutters in my lower gut, low appetite, heightened emotions and more exhaustion than before... Come to find out I was 6weeks pregnant! So I have some concerns that my body didn't have time to fully regulate after having the nexplanon removed (of course drs say everything should be fine, but nothing was 'fine' before or after I received nexplanon) and I didn't loose weight like I had hoped which puts me at some risks. But I was certainly surprised that I was pregnant 3 months after the removal 😅 Hope all is well with you though! Curious to know what your experience was like before and after nexplanon.
I had my Nexplanon inserted on May 20th 2022. Today is September 20th 2023. I didn't have periods since May 20th 2022. It is normal. Nexplanon produces hormone which prevents your body from producing eggs, periods is process of getting rid of eggs. It is normal with this type of BC. No issues what so ever. Works great as well.
I got my Nexplanon removed 5 months ago and I've lost AT LEAST 60% of my hair...and it's STILL falling out. I will NEVER get on any sort of birth control again. No thanks.
@@MamaTried Hair loss is 100% a side effect of nexplanon as well as other birth control methods! Of course I only learned this AFTER I lost most of my hair! Thank you for your video - I hope other women listen to the warnings!
@@MamaTried Just to clarify: When you're on birth control you are TRICKING your body into thinking it's pregnant! This is why a lot of women notice changes (weight gain, mood changes, hair loss etc.) when starting birth control. Then when you stop birth control (or are post-partum) your body goes through hormonal changes again which may also cause a variety of symptoms. Too bad we are not informed of this prior to making our birth control decisions!
@@hunnyl0ve whaaaaaaat. I didn’t know that either. That’s crazy and I wish doctors would inform women of all of these things BEFORE starting birth control.
I'm so grateful to find this video! Omg, I have to let them removed my Nexplanon in 6 weeks! I was experiencing 1. Gaining weight 2. Pembls here and there 3. Spotting almost every day 4. Sudden cramps 5. Heavy bleeding on my periods 6. Less Sexual desire 🤔 7. Mood swings 😪, this was the worst part 8. Hair loss 😭😭😭
I recently got off my pills. It’s been two days now, I think I feel a little happier, I’m not sure if I feel anything at all gutwise, but I’m so excited to finally have my hormones back to normal & my gut also. I’ve been so bloated with the pills & so depressed sometimes, headaches, super low libido. I would sometimes feel lethargic. I think I’m feeling a little better now.
I got a Nexplanon implanted 4 days ago and I am in so much pain right now. I could barely move my arm .it looks very ugly and it’s black and blue but I’m hoping that it gets better with time.
So I'm experiencing really bad ppd and I did get the nexplanon in sep 8 . And I'm feeling heavy depression, mood swings, angery irritated by the smallest things... I just want to cry all the time.. and I'm a new mom...
I hope they can get you the help you need! Do you have someone close to you that you can talk to about this or someone who can stay with you? Sometimes talking about it helps so much.
I think I'm get mine removed I don't have a bf anymore. And I'm not planning On dating again. I gained alotta weigh after getting my implant. And my hair thinned out. Idk. I'm unsure what to do.
am also in my 17th month n doing well, i love the weight thou my first 6months my face really broke, after 6months i have a lengthy period thou friendly koz its in a short hour time in a day i gess thats y it takes 2weeks. simply trying to manage my moods they change suddenly.
I’ve had pretty good experiences with the Nexplanon so far I had one put in in 2018 and I just had a new one replaced in earlier this month I’ve been having a little bit of symptoms of my arm being sore on and off and having to takeibuprofen for that and a little bit of headaches but other than that, I haven’t had too much problems so far, but I know even back then it didn’t have too many symptoms
Nexplanon was the worst decision I made. Gave me horrible period every 3 weeks and it would last 2 weeks-4 weeks. I gained 30 pounds within the first year. Arm would get a mosquito like lump every once in awhile and it would itch like crazy. (Usually would happen when I moved my arm in a strange way, but could occur completely randomly) ALSO I had phantom pains where I would get this lump on the opposite arm in exact same spot.. Nexplanon caused cystic hormonal acne , the worst acne I’ve ever had and ultimately had to get on acutane. I also had bad mood swings and a load of other issues. Removing it was a terrible process bc although they injected local anesthetic, you can still feel movement but not pain. So I could feel the pulling and tugging of my skin which only heightened my anxiety. My dr struggled for about 7 minutes trying to get it out, almost requiring assistance from a nurse. It’s been almost a year since my removal and I still have tenderness and pain in the site of implantation and the scar that was left is very raised and pigmented. Overall, I recommend trying every other option before this birth control. My dr did not fully explain all the side effects and risks. Do your own research and take all this into consideration. I have been on the combo pill for the past 11 months and it is the best birth control I’ve ever tried.
I thought I was the only one with an itchy bump. I just got mine removed today and all of the symptoms you stated I went through. So happy it’s behind us now
Acutane alone has super scary side effects let alone on top of nexplanon! I’m so sorry you went thought that. I can just imagine the mood swings and dark thoughts u had.
This is horrible! I’ve never suffered from anxiety like this my mental Heath was fine as soon as I got my implant removed within days I started having panic attacks every few minutes at work not able to function it was so terrible plus it got stuck in my arm they had to use stitches to close it then for about a week my arm was so sore and I was in pain I don’t ever recommend this for anyone!
Birth control can be so damn frustrating I can’t take hormonal BC because of my IBS so I got a copper IUD and it fell out and caused me to bleed to much it was awful I’m just using condoms at this point
New subscriber: was wondering if you’ve planned on updating this post-removal? Would love to hear your experience. My daughter just turned 1 as well and I’ve been feeling FUNKY. Just thought it was post baby stuff but I’m thinking now it may be the implant BC…. :/
Have you done a update video?! I didn’t have side affects until recently. I been getting hot flashes nausea everyday. Sometime my arm where it’s placed feels numb. Back pain. I just wanted to see if you stated to feel better after it was removed. I have an appointment tomorrow to take mine out. And just using condoms until I have my tubes tide
Yes ma'am I have an updated video: th-cam.com/video/rKB2lGRDCWE/w-d-xo.html Good luck to having it removed and I hope you start feeling better soon! ❤️
Honestly, the patch is the BEST birth control I was ever on. I did Mirena, pills, depo (horrible) and then the patch. I refused to the the implant in the arm. I’m so happy you got it out, and I’m sorry for the experience you had with it. Go JuJu!!!! We love you!
I’ve always had very regular periods but I needed a low commitment birth control and now I’ve gained almost 50lb and my period is extremely irregular. It’s been 2 years and I STILL don’t know if I want to keep it.
It was the nexplanon I have it for 3 years the first time and didnt bleed for a hear than started and bled for almost u months straight I gained weight even if I ate only once a day normal healthy meal I did nothing but cry when i bled bc it was so painful and draining i would get mad and have blackout right before i had periods I also got put on anxiety and depression medication from psychiatrists I got it removed after my 2 one and I am on no medication now I look my normal weight I don't gain anything much at all and I m not having any of those issues anymore. Nexplanon is great if u rather bleed and fall apart at the expense of just trying not to get pregnant but its really not worth all the pain it puts into the body
Preach girl! I'm so glad to know I wasn't alone in this. But I'm also very sad finding out that so many of us are having the same issues and doctors still seem to be pushing the nexplanon so much... There needs to be better, healthier options out there and if there aren't.... Doctors just need to be straight up about it. I asked all of the right questions before getting mine and my doc just kept brushing all of my questions off like they weren't valid... then continued to treat me like I was crazy when I wanted it removed. 😒... Also, she's not my OB anymore.
Hi Sarah! Can you tell me how long it took to feel normal after you got it removed? I have a very similar story and I plan on getting it removed after I get married this year. I’m so nervous about having a bad reaction to it being removed sort of like when I had it installed. Any insight or advice would be so welcome!
After having 2 put in back to back I had it for 6 years in a row it still hurts once ina while lile a shooting pain but it took me lile a year before everything felt normal hormones wise my periods came back after 2 months of having it removed.
@@lainabourgeois2113 I already have issues with depression and anxiety so it did not mix well with the issues i was already having. If u don't like how it makes u feel or if u feel like your emotions are all out of whack and uncontrollable u can call them and they will remove it for you.
I know this is an older comment but I have been on the nexplanon for about a year. I had no symptoms for about 11 months and then I had one painful period and since then I have been spotting continuously for about the last month. is that similar to what you experienced?
I’m having second thoughts about getting it I’m scared but I’m breastfeeding and the dr said that was one of the best options for me, should I cancel my appointment 😭
Your doctor sounds horrible! I’m in the same spot. I have to choose between the iud and nexplanon. I tried the copper IUD and had a traumatic experience with it. Now I’m seeing all of these terrible implant reviews and am so nervous to get it!
I have had mine in 17 months and it has been awful they were really pushing to get it and we’re highly thinking it would stop your period which sounded good. But no. Bleed majority of the month you get off few days later back to bleeding. Have to wear liner all most all the time because spotting. I lost so much weight after pregnancy but now I’m wondering why can’t lose weight went from flat stomach after baby came to flabby and fat. No sexual drive at all. Hormones are ridiculous. Always fatigue
Been bleeding since week one of it, constantly getting pregnancy symptoms, including leaking breasts, either excessively tired or extremely restless (but zero energy regardless), my depression worsened, my anxiety worsened, and my sex drive is zero. Don't even want hugged. 🙄 Ten outta ten, do not recommend
Yeah I’m thinking of removing it because it’s been too years and all my periods las 30 days and only 14 days of period free and also I have the weight thing I keep going up instead of down I only eat once a day and I don’t really like cravings so idk and I have a 1 and 2 year old to look after also everything time I’m about to get my period I get flue like thing going on then when I get my period it goes away but then during my period it makes so pale and weak
Let me just say this as a caterer-I cater to 90% hospitals. The drug companies will buy the doctors a nice catered lunch a few times a month and butter them up during their lecture…it’s super unethical
I would fire your dr she seems pushy lol. We are old fashioned and have just used condoms because I can't do a lot of hormones and im also scared of implants. Hope you find something that works for you!
I’m definitely not going back for anything serious. I think we are just going to go the same route because BC just doesn’t seem to work well with me! Thank you!
@@MamaTried Oh wow I understand now, I am from Panama but I live in Iceland so there are things about the States that sometimes I don't understand, thank you for the clarification
For me I lost weight. And I couldn’t get it back up no matter how much I ate. I was already 95lbs only so I was weighing 80 and looked so sick. I had it for 3 years and I’m off it now for a month and I’m finally looking healthier and gaining the weight back.
I removed it last week... Me "Doctor it have effect on my hormones becouse am emotional for last 2 year" doctor "no noting at all ..no side effect at all....so do you want iud or shout?" Me"NO THANKS ...not again😭😭" My story
My Dr kept making comments when she was failing to remove it too and I told her I’m super anxious already and she kept talking about how hard to get it out
Another huge disclaimer is that doctors cannot explain how Nexplanon works, they just know it’s really good at preventing pregnancy. They can’t tell you how much hormones are being released or if it releases the same amount consistently. Made me very turned off
2:08 I’m just doing research I wanna get mine taking out I’m passing blood clots the doctors 🥼 declined me taking it out. I really want it out. My period started off lightly but they gave me medication for the bleeding
I just started passing blood clots. I’m going to give my doctor a call and see what they say. Hopefully they give me a medication or take it out. I’m a nervous wreck.
@@randomcontent8227 ever since I’ve been on it I cry over NOTHING. I literally cry so much. I’m always hungry, my weight has gone up 15lbs and it’s only been 1 month... I would say my sex drive went up tho so that’s a plus. But I read that it could possibly stop u from being fertile when u get off it. Some women say it’s happened to them and some say it’s not true
Anyone who asks me what type of birth control they should be on I automatically tell them that whatever you choose, just DO NOT go with then Nexplanon! Idk if they changed anything with it, but the first time I had it everything was completely fine. When I had to get it replaced, it was a whole different story! I got it replaced Jan 2019 and I suffered horrible mood swings and sudden weight gain. I could go from being happy-go-lucky to screaming and ready to pick a fight or extremely depressed. I was also constantly bleeding and my cycle was way out of wack. Within a couple days of having it taken out, I was finally becoming my normal self. I am so happy that you made a video about this!!
Thank you Taylor! It was one of the worst things I could have done to my body. My situation was very similar to yours and I would never recommend the nexplanon now that I’ve experienced it!
I just mines off today! And I am so happy I did because my side effects were weight gain, and then acne, spotting a lot like every two weeks! Low sex drive! And most of all depression with dark thoughts, intrusive thoughts, feeling insane and crazy, high anxiety and some suic*dal thoughts… worst ever! And I don’t want be on anti depressants I want use that as my last source but know this implant affected me a lot
I experienced MASSIVE hair loss, arm cramping from the same arm as the placement. My 3 years are up next month in April. I can’t wait for the removal. Oh yeah also 50 lb weight gain also in 3 years. It’s been a lot.
4 MONTHS AFTER HAVING NEXPLANON REMOVED UPDATE: th-cam.com/video/rKB2lGRDCWE/w-d-xo.html
I haven't watch this one yet but I will! I am on my 4th implant. I've had it since they came out as the implannon. Weight gain has been my biggest enemy with it. But the IUDs scare me and so did tubals! I love your channel! You're amazing!
4th? Wow girl, you are brave! I’m with you about the IUD, that’s why I got the nexplanon in the first place 😭
Thank you!! You’re so sweet! ❤️
Were you gaining weight from food or from hormones
My labor and delivery story: th-cam.com/video/watZAqJT6BM/w-d-xo.html
I’m on Nexplanon and it has made me gain so much weight over the past couple of years I wish the doctors would be more honest about the weight gain with the birth control
Were you gaining weight from eating or from hormones
@pureheart8666 I believe it was hormones.
Anyone experience extreme fatigue symptoms? I am a very active and healthy person and I've had it for a year. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get or if I have caffeine. I feel like I can't stop being tired.
Same here actually
Yup! Then after that came depression because of it.
The fatigue got worse the longer I had it. By year 4 I was in so much physical and emotional pain. Irregular bleeding, extreme cramps, exhaustion, mood swings, acne... the list goes on...
I’ve had mine in for 1 year now and I feel as though I’ve become more and more tired. I nap all the time now (everywhere)
I feel the exact same i just got it out on friday (sunday today as commenting) and I already have more energy than i did for the last 3 years i thought it was so weird to me because my daughter sleeps through the night and has since 3-5 months old so i’m not missing out on sleep but i always get up and then do a few things then put her for a nap and then nap myself because i can’t keep my eyes open it’s crazy now i’m like how the fuck did i last all day without a nap
You look gorgeous! Great informative video. Great job spreading information women need to hear but no one talks about.
Girl Power!
Thank you!!! ❤️🤍❤️
Getting pregnant with PCOS: th-cam.com/video/TcgbBMAHyes/w-d-xo.html
being a 17 year old and getting it it gave me HORRIBLE acne, i’ve got my period since i was 11, my period was just horrible so the pills didn’t do it for me, then i got it BAD BAD BAD idea. made me super depressed and angry. i actually LOST weight and hair too. just got it removed and the doctor didn’t want me to remove it i’m like oh yes i do it has ruined my life. just got it out :)
I’m so so happy you got it removed since you were having so many issues! I hope you get back to yourself soon. ❤️
Did you do the update video without the nexplanon
@@fredajuan3294 its been a little over a year since I got it removed and I switched back to birth control pills! My face is clear and I am no longer depressed as I was before.
Mine literally bent in half in my arm. When I told the dr I wanted it removed he argued with me. I told him it was bent and he felt it and was certain it wasn’t. You could see it bent in my arm. When he finally agreed to remove it he refused to let me see it saying “wasn’t even slightly bent” he was a doctor in sulpher springs I live in Dallas and he had upset me prior to that cause when I had found out I was pregnant he chastised me about not being married and that I have disability’s.. he’s the one that put it in. After all that I changed drs when I moved here to Dallas cause he was.. well he didn’t have good bedside manners
That is so scary. I cannot believe the doctor treated you like that. 😡
I just got mine removed yesterday! I was having 3 to 4 full on periods a month- cramps and all! It was seriously the worst. On top of that, I gained 18 pounds in a year and a half. I’m excited to see how my body regulates after this!
That sounds awful!! I hope that you get to feeling more like yourself soon! ❤️
I'm n this exact same situation. I've being trying to get mine removed since November 2021, but they keep pushing me off. Now it's been expired since January, Ive been to 3 nurse practitioner to get it removed, n they saying it's too deep. Now I have to go to a surgeon 🤦🏿♀️
Is it regulated now? I'm getting mine removed tomorrow and I've been bleeding for 4 months straight. I want it to go back to normal asap!
Omg! I’m so glad I found this video to ease my mind. I got Nexplanon in April/May 2022 and at first I was fine because I didn’t really get any periods…but that was probably due to nursing; because towards the of 2022 I stopped nursing and in January 2023, my period came with a vengeance (heavy bleeding and very painful). I was under a lot of stress so I didn’t think anything of it and in the coming months, I just dealt with it and tried to manage by going to the gym. I also want to mention that I had gained over 20 lbs in a year! Now I do have hypothyroidism, so I was thinking maybe this is a factor. Fast forward to now, I still have the Nexplanon, but I started my period 2 weeks ago, it wasn’t really painful and the flow was medium I’d say…..usually my periods last around 5 days and then tapers off. This has not done that around day 6 it was spotting. And I thought hmmm I’ve been under a lot of stress, ok we will wait another day or so. Well a few days later has gone by and now the flow has actually gotten heavier as if my body doesn’t want to stop the period. And I’m over here low key panicking, but after watching this video, I’m realizing that the Nexplanon is what’s causing all of these problems; and it’s making sooo much sense now. Definitely will be reaching out to my doctor because I really don’t know how this is even ok for women to deal with this. Thank you so much for this video ❤
I hope you’ve gotten to the bottom of things and you start feeling better soon! 🫶🏼
I felt like my dr pushed me to do it too. And I also felt like mine really pushed to not get it removed. This story was literally me.
It's so good to know that I'm not alone in that but also extremely concerning. They must receive money from nexplanon to sell their product, or there must be an incentive. I want a doctor who genuinely cares about me, not ONLY their wallet. 😔
Same! Just got mine removed 3 hours ago lol and she asked me 4 times if I wanted it replaced or another form. I was like “no!! My partner and I talked about this and we are going to use condoms and/or spermicide.” Of course she had to ramble on about the ineffectiveness of my decision. Lady!! I said NO! 😂 my partner and I are in our mid 20s so it’s not even like if a pregnancy happened it would be the end of the world, and bc of my age it felt even weirder, like I was being treated almost like a teenager. I know how this has been making me feel, I know it’s destroying my relationship, so be gone nexplanon! I gave it three years, she kept telling me “this will go away!” Never did.
I wish I had found your video at the time I was doing research... I also felt like my doctor kinda pushed me the Nexplanon, I got it implanted yesterday. They say "it's just a small incision", but the procedure is so agressive - I literally vomit by the time I got out the elevator to the ground floor. When I actually finally read the whole booklet, I saw so many issues... I do have diabetes, high cholesterol, I wear contact lenses, I have mild depression and take St John's Wort for it - I asked so many times if it could affect my treatments for all these, and she said "No.".
ive had mine since July of 2023. I was spotting for 2 months non stop. I really regret getting nexplanon. if you're considering nexplanon let this comment push you away from choosing it. I used to be 145, now I weigh 166.6 in January of 2024. gaining 21 pounds in 6 months isn't a lot but its the differences its made. im incredibly depressed not only because of the hormones but because o the insane change its done to my physical appearance. if you have any issues with body image please don't get this form of birth control. I noticed the weight gain two months ago I was 160. I started by changing my diet PLUS eating less. two and a half weeks ago I started running on the treadmill the famous TikTok 12-3-30 workout. ive been doing it consistently everyday, some days twice a day with included ab work outs. I gained 6 pounds. not only that but my down there area has an odd odor now. I made my appointment to remove my nexplanon Jan 16, 2024. I hope to seee positive changes in my body
I'm getting my nexplanon removed soon due to bleeding which has lasted going on four months. Not spotting, but bleeding, as in wearing a pad 24/7. I can't anymore.
I wish I had known the side effects about the nexplanon prior to getting it. I’ve had it almost 3 years and I’m getting it out tomorrow morning. Gained 80lbs in 6 months (and granted I’ve never been the the healthiest person, but almost 100lbs in less than 6 months?) my period hardly ever comes anymore, but when it does, it lasts for close to a month. Major cramping every week or so. I have hated every single minute of this birth control
Do what makes you comfortable! Everyone experiences. I'm glad my doctor broke everything down from 3-6 months of breakthrough bleeding and all the side effects. The doctor was pushing for the Mirena which i refused.
Thanks for sharing I get mine removed tomorrow. I hope I can get back to my old self again ♥️
Thank you for the support! I hope you do too girlie! I have an update video if you want to watch that too! th-cam.com/video/rKB2lGRDCWE/w-d-xo.html
@@MamaTried thanks beauty
My side effects after 1 year on it … bloating , acne , arm pain & mood swings ! 😢 the arm pain is what has been worrying me the most is like a numbness that starts on my shoulder to my elbow anyone else ? The pain is not intense but it definitely bothers me can’t put too much pressure or carry too much weight on it as well or it will start aching. This is my second time getting it after 2 miscarriages I thought this would be the best option since I didn’t suffer from the arm pain the first time around . Im calling tomorrow to make an appointment to get it removed I can’t stand it anymore. Being a women is hard enough they need to make safe birth control for us 😢
I had gastric sleeve done n everyone I know lost 70+ plus pounds, I only lost 56!! N it's been 2 years. I think the nexplnon is the reason I haven't lost weight
I got mine removed on the 6th of this month, I been on it for six years, the first three was good for me. But the second three years were really bad. It makes me bleed for 21 days straight. I am done with it never in my life I will use it. When I was getting removed, my doctor told me you know when you get it removed you get pregnant tomorrow . I said told her it’s okay I am fine. I don’t need it.
My name is Sarah Sebastian. I have endometriosis so my doctor put on nexplanon for 3 years and it really helps with my endometriosis symptoms . I had a really good Experience on the nexplanon . My doctor get put a new in a week from today.
Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your experience. Your story and experience is very important to help others in making such an important decision.
I finally get mine removed in two days 😩 I am not allowing them putting me on any birth control anymore . This has been the worst thing my body has EVER experienced 😩😩😖
I feel ya girl, same. Hopefully you get back to normal soon!
@@MamaTried thank you !✨
I literally think they’re paid extra to push certain BC methods. I’ve had so many issues with BC over the years, and I finally settled on an IUD. It’s been working pretty nicely for now. I’ve heard so many issues about Nexplanon 😳
I think so too! I’m glad the IUD is working for you!
I just got mine and the doctors were really nice about it but I'm not sure about it right now... I hope it turns out okay 🤞
Oh my gosh! I am dealing with the same issue! I got my nexplanon in march of 2021 and I have been bleeding everyday, I called my doctor in August 2021 to let her know I wanted to get my nexplanon removed and my doctor prescribed me birth control pills to take. I haven't taken the pills and I still don't have my nexplanon removed, I want to cry.
I would definitely find another doctor. That’s what I wish I would have done!
This happened to me. After taking the BC pills for about a month the bleeding stopped and i didn’t receive my period for TWO YEARS. I actually loved not having it though!
I wonder what kind of kick back the doctor’s get for certain birth controls. I’m on week 3 of bleeding and I’m exhausted. Plus a new side effect I’m having is that my bleeding smells extremely bad and of strong iron. It’s awful. I can’t find anyone else that has this problem. The cramps and bloating are too much and are not able to taper down with a heating pad and ibuprofen or Midol. I got on this by my doctor because I have fibroids and endometriosis and my bleeding during my periods were out of control but at least it ended after 5 days! This is effed up so I’m calling my doctor today. I’ve been on this for almost 2 months. I have two young kids and this is not okay. I’m too tired to do anything. I was already anemic. Ugh maybe a hysterectomy is next. But I’m 45 so can I hang with this until menopause which is the light at the end of the tunnel??? I don’t know 😭😩🤬🥴😤
I just got mine yesterday and after reading all this im freaked out
What's happen for you??
I love hearing your experience!! I just got mine out about 3 months ago and feel so much leveled out. However, I still haven’t received my period :( I had my annual Pap smear a week ago and addressed this issue with my OBGYN and she told me this is normal. Not sure if this is something any of y’all have gone through? I’m a little concerned ❤️
Thanks for watching! I’ve heard so many people say they have either lost their period while on it or had a period that lasted forever! I guess it just varies depending on the person 😕
I just had mine removed 3 weeks ago. Before I was having a period and severe cramps every 2 weeks. But sense the removal, I had some spotting for about a week and half, but otherwise no real period to speak of. Just a lot of bloating, brain fog, constipation, and a weird "gas trapped" kinda feeling on my right side.
@@maggiegkinney8551 how are u feeling now.....I m still feeling anxiety and brain fog...mine was taked 2 and half months ago
@satbirgill2181 there was a lot of anxiety, brain fog and those gut issues as I mentioned before. But I couldn't get any weight off that I had gained from the nexplanon. And after 3 months I still hadn't received my period and still had a lot of the same symptoms happening but my libido was higher.
Another month and a half go by and I begin feeling even more different.. like flutters in my lower gut, low appetite, heightened emotions and more exhaustion than before... Come to find out I was 6weeks pregnant!
So I have some concerns that my body didn't have time to fully regulate after having the nexplanon removed (of course drs say everything should be fine, but nothing was 'fine' before or after I received nexplanon) and I didn't loose weight like I had hoped which puts me at some risks. But I was certainly surprised that I was pregnant 3 months after the removal 😅
Hope all is well with you though! Curious to know what your experience was like before and after nexplanon.
I had my Nexplanon inserted on May 20th 2022. Today is September 20th 2023. I didn't have periods since May 20th 2022. It is normal. Nexplanon produces hormone which prevents your body from producing eggs, periods is process of getting rid of eggs. It is normal with this type of BC. No issues what so ever. Works great as well.
Great video...thanks for the info. I too have PCOS and so far I'm getting used to my nexplanon. Fingers crossed 🥰
Thank you! Good luck! ❤️
I got my Nexplanon removed 5 months ago and I've lost AT LEAST 60% of my hair...and it's STILL falling out. I will NEVER get on any sort of birth control again. No thanks.
I’m so sorry! That’s awful. I’ve had so much hair loss too. I have no idea if the Nexplanon contributed to it as well. 😳
@@MamaTried Hair loss is 100% a side effect of nexplanon as well as other birth control methods! Of course I only learned this AFTER I lost most of my hair! Thank you for your video - I hope other women listen to the warnings!
@@hunnyl0ve I did not know that! I thought it was just from being postpartum! Thank you, I hope so too!
@@MamaTried Just to clarify: When you're on birth control you are TRICKING your body into thinking it's pregnant! This is why a lot of women notice changes (weight gain, mood changes, hair loss etc.) when starting birth control. Then when you stop birth control (or are post-partum) your body goes through hormonal changes again which may also cause a variety of symptoms. Too bad we are not informed of this prior to making our birth control decisions!
@@hunnyl0ve whaaaaaaat. I didn’t know that either. That’s crazy and I wish doctors would inform women of all of these things BEFORE starting birth control.
Just removed mine and I am switching to Natural Cycles Fertility Awareness. No hormones just track your cycle.
I’ve been considering that for a while now also!!
Can't do with irregular periods😢,
and maybe could get them regular naturally but in that time, i will probably get pregnant again!
Yeah I tried that. Got pregnant...twice 🤣
OOOOF thanks for that review girl 😂
Thanks for sharing your story I appreciate it and can relate to it
Getting mines removed today after having it for 5 years..I gained close to 50 pounds I went from 135 to 184 never again
Oh girl I hope you start feeling so much better soon! 🤞🏼❤️
Same! Got mine in late 2017 and the whole experience was miserable 😪 just had mine removed 3 weeks ago
I'm so grateful to find this video! Omg, I have to let them removed my Nexplanon in 6 weeks! I was experiencing
1. Gaining weight
2. Pembls here and there
3. Spotting almost every day
4. Sudden cramps
5. Heavy bleeding on my periods
6. Less Sexual desire 🤔
7. Mood swings 😪, this was the worst part
8. Hair loss 😭😭😭
All things that I have also experienced and others that I know with the nexplanon 😞 I’ll never get any implant ever again!
Yes it took my hair out really bad
It’s Sunday today. Was gonna get the implant on Monday. Hearing all this. I’m like sikeeee. I change my mind sis
@@jenniferaidoo2423 try it for 3 months and see how your body takes it.
@@jenniferaidoo2423 do not get it
I recently got off my pills. It’s been two days now, I think I feel a little happier, I’m not sure if I feel anything at all gutwise, but I’m so excited to finally have my hormones back to normal & my gut also. I’ve been so bloated with the pills & so depressed sometimes, headaches, super low libido. I would sometimes feel lethargic. I think I’m feeling a little better now.
I hope you get back to normal soon!! 🫶🏼
I got a Nexplanon implanted 4 days ago and I am in so much pain right now. I could barely move my arm .it looks very ugly and it’s black and blue but I’m hoping that it gets better with time.
So I'm experiencing really bad ppd and I did get the nexplanon in sep 8 . And I'm feeling heavy depression, mood swings, angery irritated by the smallest things... I just want to cry all the time.. and I'm a new mom...
Sep 8 2021 is when I got it.
I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Have you talked to your doctor about any of these symptoms?
@@MamaTried i made an appointment today but they're on lunch..
I hope they can get you the help you need! Do you have someone close to you that you can talk to about this or someone who can stay with you? Sometimes talking about it helps so much.
I feel bloated all the time and my stomach is always huge
I think I'm get mine removed I don't have a bf anymore. And I'm not planning On dating again. I gained alotta weigh after getting my implant. And my hair thinned out. Idk. I'm unsure what to do.
i just got mine put in today. freaking out now 😭
am also in my 17th month n doing well, i love the weight thou my first 6months my face really broke, after 6months i have a lengthy period thou friendly koz its in a short hour time in a day i gess thats y it takes 2weeks. simply trying to manage my moods they change suddenly.
I have Nexplanon 3 years now and have to get it out in March.. I’m sorry you had this done too you
Thank you ❤️
I’ve had pretty good experiences with the Nexplanon so far I had one put in in 2018 and I just had a new one replaced in earlier this month I’ve been having a little bit of symptoms of my arm being sore on and off and having to takeibuprofen for that and a little bit of headaches but other than that, I haven’t had too much problems so far, but I know even back then it didn’t have too many symptoms
I’ve always stuck with the pill but my sister had this not once but TWICE. Bad experience both times!
That’s horrible. 😭
Nexplanon was the worst decision I made. Gave me horrible period every 3 weeks and it would last 2 weeks-4 weeks. I gained 30 pounds within the first year. Arm would get a mosquito like lump every once in awhile and it would itch like crazy. (Usually would happen when I moved my arm in a strange way, but could occur completely randomly) ALSO I had phantom pains where I would get this lump on the opposite arm in exact same spot.. Nexplanon caused cystic hormonal acne , the worst acne I’ve ever had and ultimately had to get on acutane. I also had bad mood swings and a load of other issues. Removing it was a terrible process bc although they injected local anesthetic, you can still feel movement but not pain. So I could feel the pulling and tugging of my skin which only heightened my anxiety. My dr struggled for about 7 minutes trying to get it out, almost requiring assistance from a nurse. It’s been almost a year since my removal and I still have tenderness and pain in the site of implantation and the scar that was left is very raised and pigmented. Overall, I recommend trying every other option before this birth control. My dr did not fully explain all the side effects and risks. Do your own research and take all this into consideration. I have been on the combo pill for the past 11 months and it is the best birth control I’ve ever tried.
I couldn’t have said this better myself girlie.
Let’s leave nexplanon behind us, because we know we won’t go down that road again. 🥂
I thought I was the only one with an itchy bump. I just got mine removed today and all of the symptoms you stated I went through. So happy it’s behind us now
Acutane alone has super scary side effects let alone on top of nexplanon! I’m so sorry you went thought that. I can just imagine the mood swings and dark thoughts u had.
This is horrible! I’ve never suffered from anxiety like this my mental Heath was fine as soon as I got my implant removed within days I started having panic attacks every few minutes at work not able to function it was so terrible plus it got stuck in my arm they had to use stitches to close it then for about a week my arm was so sore and I was in pain I don’t ever recommend this for anyone!
I’m experiencing this too! This is the second time it’s done this to my mental health.
Birth control can be so damn frustrating I can’t take hormonal BC because of my IBS so I got a copper IUD and it fell out and caused me to bleed to much it was awful I’m just using condoms at this point
It really is awful. I’m in the same boat as you now because of it. 😩 maybe one day they’ll come out with something that doesn’t make us feel awful.
That’s what happen to me
New subscriber: was wondering if you’ve planned on updating this post-removal? Would love to hear your experience. My daughter just turned 1 as well and I’ve been feeling FUNKY. Just thought it was post baby stuff but I’m thinking now it may be the implant BC…. :/
I did an update 4 months after the removal! Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/rKB2lGRDCWE/w-d-xo.html
I’m feeling very weird too . Like off, fuzzy, very hypersensitive. Not myself at all!
Have you done a update video?! I didn’t have side affects until recently. I been getting hot flashes nausea everyday. Sometime my arm where it’s placed feels numb. Back pain. I just wanted to see if you stated to feel better after it was removed. I have an appointment tomorrow to take mine out. And just using condoms until I have my tubes tide
Yes ma'am I have an updated video: th-cam.com/video/rKB2lGRDCWE/w-d-xo.html
Good luck to having it removed and I hope you start feeling better soon! ❤️
Honestly, the patch is the BEST birth control I was ever on. I did Mirena, pills, depo (horrible) and then the patch. I refused to the the implant in the arm.
I’m so happy you got it out, and I’m sorry for the experience you had with it.
Go JuJu!!!! We love you!
I’m going to talk to my doctor about the patch when I decide to get back on BC. that seems like a much more safe option! Thank you, I love y’all! ❤️❤️
I’ve always had very regular periods but I needed a low commitment birth control and now I’ve gained almost 50lb and my period is extremely irregular. It’s been 2 years and I STILL don’t know if I want to keep it.
It was the nexplanon I have it for 3 years the first time and didnt bleed for a hear than started and bled for almost u months straight I gained weight even if I ate only once a day normal healthy meal I did nothing but cry when i bled bc it was so painful and draining i would get mad and have blackout right before i had periods I also got put on anxiety and depression medication from psychiatrists I got it removed after my 2 one and I am on no medication now I look my normal weight I don't gain anything much at all and I m not having any of those issues anymore. Nexplanon is great if u rather bleed and fall apart at the expense of just trying not to get pregnant but its really not worth all the pain it puts into the body
Preach girl! I'm so glad to know I wasn't alone in this. But I'm also very sad finding out that so many of us are having the same issues and doctors still seem to be pushing the nexplanon so much... There needs to be better, healthier options out there and if there aren't.... Doctors just need to be straight up about it. I asked all of the right questions before getting mine and my doc just kept brushing all of my questions off like they weren't valid... then continued to treat me like I was crazy when I wanted it removed. 😒... Also, she's not my OB anymore.
Hi Sarah! Can you tell me how long it took to feel normal after you got it removed? I have a very similar story and I plan on getting it removed after I get married this year. I’m so nervous about having a bad reaction to it being removed sort of like when I had it installed. Any insight or advice would be so welcome!
After having 2 put in back to back I had it for 6 years in a row it still hurts once ina while lile a shooting pain but it took me lile a year before everything felt normal hormones wise my periods came back after 2 months of having it removed.
@@lainabourgeois2113 I already have issues with depression and anxiety so it did not mix well with the issues i was already having. If u don't like how it makes u feel or if u feel like your emotions are all out of whack and uncontrollable u can call them and they will remove it for you.
I know this is an older comment but I have been on the nexplanon for about a year. I had no symptoms for about 11 months and then I had one painful period and since then I have been spotting continuously for about the last month. is that similar to what you experienced?
I gained so much weight
I’m having second thoughts about getting it I’m scared but I’m breastfeeding and the dr said that was one of the best options for me, should I cancel my appointment 😭
It didn't affect my breastmilk supply at all but totally messed up my hormones and everything else. I very much regret getting it.
Your doctor sounds horrible! I’m in the same spot. I have to choose between the iud and nexplanon. I tried the copper IUD and had a traumatic experience with it. Now I’m seeing all of these terrible implant reviews and am so nervous to get it!
I wish I would have listened to my gut feeling to not get it in the first place.
Which way did you do it?
Was any one else really itchy???
I don't remember being itchy but I did notice my skin being more dry!
I ended up being allergic to mine! Major rashes and constantly itchy. Got it removed after 1 month and going to see the dermatologist 🥲
I thought I was the only one. The doctors refused to believe the hives I got was from Nexplanon.
Mama tried did you gain weight from nexplanon hormones or from the food were you eating a lot while having nexplanon .
I was on a calorie deficit the entire time. It was not from overeating.
@@MamaTrieddid you notice the weight gain once you putt the nexplanon on your arm or it took long time to gain weight ?
I’ve lost my libido (my sex drive) nearly completely because of this device. I am going to have it taken out.
I have had mine in 17 months and it has been awful they were really pushing to get it and we’re highly thinking it would stop your period which sounded good. But no.
Bleed majority of the month you get off few days later back to bleeding. Have to wear liner all most all the time because spotting. I lost so much weight after pregnancy but now I’m wondering why can’t lose weight went from flat stomach after baby came to flabby and fat. No sexual drive at all. Hormones are ridiculous. Always fatigue
was sore breasts a side effect that you had? cuz i swear its been killing me
Do you get charged for taking it out? I hate mine already 😒 I've been on it one year
Depends on your doctor and if you have insurance. I had to pay out of pocket for an office visit.
@@MamaTried no insurance, so how much did you pay if you don't mind saying it 🤔 thank you.
@@monseroxy Somewhere around $120
I got mine in almost a month ago. I love it. Really sucks it doesn't work for many people
Been bleeding since week one of it, constantly getting pregnancy symptoms, including leaking breasts, either excessively tired or extremely restless (but zero energy regardless), my depression worsened, my anxiety worsened, and my sex drive is zero. Don't even want hugged. 🙄 Ten outta ten, do not recommend
😢
Yeah I’m thinking of removing it because it’s been too years and all my periods las 30 days and only 14 days of period free and also I have the weight thing I keep going up instead of down I only eat once a day and I don’t really like cravings so idk and I have a 1 and 2 year old to look after also everything time I’m about to get my period I get flue like thing going on then when I get my period it goes away but then during my period it makes so pale and weak
Let me just say this as a caterer-I cater to 90% hospitals. The drug companies will buy the doctors a nice catered lunch a few times a month and butter them up during their lecture…it’s super unethical
I’m supposed to remove mine tomorrow and this just sent my anxiety thru the roof 😭✋🏼
You got this girl!!
I had the injection was great just completely stopped my periods and i bloated and got fat!!
Does the implant effect the breast milk
It did not for me!
I would fire your dr she seems pushy lol. We are old fashioned and have just used condoms because I can't do a lot of hormones and im also scared of implants. Hope you find something that works for you!
I’m definitely not going back for anything serious. I think we are just going to go the same route because BC just doesn’t seem to work well with me! Thank you!
I feel very tired every single day and my hair look really bad
Does this nexppanon cause Acne?
Not sure if it causes acne. For me it caused major hormonal shifts, which cause acne!
I gained a lot of weight! 40! Pounds in a year!!!!
I totally understand how that could happen. It was very difficult for me not to gain weight, no matter how much I worked out or what I ate!
Did you have bleeding as well?
I gained 30 lbs

Get a new doctor
Girl, I'm not going back to her! lol It's so hard to find a good gyno where I live. 😩
Every woman is different not everyone will have the same effects as you
That is very true...
However, this is about my experience, no one else's.
Check your thyroids for the weight gain.
My thyroid is good 👍🏼 it was most definitely the nexplanon. I was able to lose weight once it was removed.
My Dr kept making comments when she was failing to remove it too and I told her I’m super anxious already and she kept talking about how hard to get it out
I know the feeling! why do they do that?!?
Another huge disclaimer is that doctors cannot explain how Nexplanon works, they just know it’s really good at preventing pregnancy. They can’t tell you how much hormones are being released or if it releases the same amount consistently. Made me very turned off
I had concerns and every time I brought them up my doctor shot them down before she even heard them. She made me feel like it was my ONLY option.
2:08 I’m just doing research I wanna get mine taking out I’m passing blood clots the doctors 🥼 declined me taking it out. I really want it out. My period started off lightly but they gave me medication for the bleeding
I just started passing blood clots. I’m going to give my doctor a call and see what they say. Hopefully they give me a medication or take it out. I’m a nervous wreck.
@@tyraison1838 I got mine removed a little after this comment. I was bleeding too much and I was scared. I’ll try another soon.
I'm getting mines out asap forget this
Yeah I’ve only been on it a month basically. This my first period and all I’ve been doing is spotting
@@randomcontent8227 ever since I’ve been on it I cry over NOTHING. I literally cry so much. I’m always hungry, my weight has gone up 15lbs and it’s only been 1 month... I would say my sex drive went up tho so that’s a plus. But I read that it could possibly stop u from being fertile when u get off it. Some women say it’s happened to them and some say it’s not true
Yes same here my emotions are more intense and my sex drive to went up the only good thing .
