i honestly wouldn’t recommend this, he first 3 months being on this birth control i had no period and began for months on end after that. Couldn’t predict my period at all so a lot of ruined underwear. Than sometimes it’ll some for 2-3 days and i would start bleed all over again. I got broken up with 2 weeks after having this and when i tell i was so emotional more than usual. Lastly i had the worse appetite while on this birth control. i weighed 129lb before nexapolan now i weigh 111lb and during that period of time i was not active.

I don't even know we're to start. Not having a period has been amazing. However, the side effects are horrible. The first month I had tingling in my hands and feet, that went away though. The first month I also experienced sever virtago/ dizziness. This issue has been on going for the past year. Its more annoying then a actually issue. I've had several acne that won't go away, mood swings are horrible, and my eye sight is bad. I've never been sick or had any health issue until getting nexplanon. Although not having a period is great, I will be getting mine removed next week after only 1 year do to issue..
