Nexplanon implant and decreased sex drive

The only thing I liked about the implant was how relatively painless getting it inserted and removed was compared to an IUD. Other than that, my almost two year experience with this birth control was terrible. I had two periods a month and had to go on birth control pills on top of the implant to help with the irregular bleeding. My libido completely vanished and I was constantly irritated especially toward my poor undeserving husband. I didn’t realize how much this thing had affected my marriage until I got off of it. He noticed a change in my mood the same week I got off of it. The implant practically made me abstinent rendering it useless to even have. It made me feel like intimacy was a chore. I would never get it again. I regret not taking it out sooner.

To start, I gained about 20 pounds. My periods were sometimes non existent and then I would have a two week period, then two days of no bleeding, followed by another two week period. After a while the implant migrated in my arm and started to cause aches whenever I exercised. I could handle most side effects but the real issue was low libido. The implant made me actively avoid sex and even be a little repulsed by it. It definitely hurt my relationship. I did love the security of it and how little I had to worry about getting pregnant.

I liked the first two years and now I have weird symptoms, on the flip side it could be a couple of other things
