Nexplanon implant
As a contraceptive, it's good, but the side effects are too much. I will not stop bleeding, and I've had the implant for about 18 months now. It's brought on anxiety, heart palpitations when I 'should' be experiencing my period (but I'm bleeding constantly, no break), low mood, tender breasts, stomach pain. I'm hoping to have it removed soon. It has ben horrific.
