I decided to give the implant a try after having my 3rd child. Almost immediately after I got it I noticed my body changing. My mood swings were so unpredictable! One minute I was normal then the next I'm screaming and reading over something so miniscule. I hoped it would stabilize or get better over time, but it hasn't. My periods are extremely long and seem to overlap. They're not always heavy though, so that's a good thing, but I can "spot" or bleed lightly for WEEKS! I've went to my OB about this and explained to her my concerns. She heard my concerns and advised I take birth control pills to help stabilize my hormones and help stop the bleeding. My implants expiration date is QuickTime approaching in March and I couldn't be more excited! I may even have it removed early. It's giving me soooo many problems since I got it put in my arm. I'll never have the implant again.

It's great that I don't really have to worry about remembering to take it. I got it inserted September 2022, so I've had it for just over a year. I have always had irregular periods however with the implant, I skip a few months and then get it twice a month for a few months, then skip, etc. I've gained around 5 pounds but nothing too noticeable. I am more sensitive and emotional now and I have had a lower sex drive compared to the Nuvaring and the patch as well as cramps in my lower abdomen frequently. Overall, these cons are not anything that hugely affects my life and I recommend Nexplanon.

My only complaint would be that when I first got on it, I bled for 2 months straight, but I was put on estrogen and I have not had any excessive bleeding since then
