Nexplanon implant
I'm on my third one now. The first 2 years of each one are great, skin and mood are improved. No more hormonal migraines and no periods. But in the third year it becomes a problem, irregular periods and extended bleeding, low mood and skin break outs, that are all worse than when I'm not on any contraception at all.
