Nexplanon implant
I didn’t mind it at all until I noticed vaginal dryness and I spotted almost every day. On my period days I would bleed a lot more so it’s annoying that I can’t enjoy my sex life. Thinking about going back to the pill or trying out the patch. Also don’t know if it’s from the implant or stress but I feel pain on the back of my lower skull.
