I wish I had known side effects sooner! I wish I could sue for pain and suffering. Going on 2 years of vagina, itchiness and dryness. Never knew these were potential side effects and I always thought some other was wrong with me turns out it was the birth control.

I like the efficacy and not worrying about pregnancy. I dislike the mood effects and weight gain.

It’s better than the pill in many ways, but it’s definitely not perfect. Nexplanon has stopped my periods with the exception of one 7+ day long HEAVY period. I also pour sweat like it’s what I do for a living. My sex drive has greatly suffered too. The higher risk of ectopic pregnancy is scary as someone who lives in a pro-life state. However, IUD insertion scares me and I’m bad at taking pills consistently. So implant it is! I wish I could give it 4.5 stars.


Decreased sex drive
