| 5 | birth control,endo | I have no complaints. I actually only got on here because before I got mine I read all the chaos on the internet. Just wanted to make it known that not everyone has a bad time or bleeds constantly. I haven't had a cramp or period in a year. Try it on your own. Don't base your choice on horror stories. | F | 30 | 1 years | 10/25/2013 | 4 | No more kids for now/maybe ever | Nexplanon has its ups and downs like every birth control, I like it so far besides the bleeding but I'm willing to stick it out since it has only been a couple of months!!!! So far I like this better than the pills because I had to try so many different kinds before I found the right one and then it goes on tv because people are suing them for all kinds of reasons, I tried the depo shot and hated it it made me gain a lot of weight and didn't like the fact of possible bone issue for long term use since I don't drink a lot of milk, and I have also tried the nuvaring and hated it with a passion it made me so sick I couldn't function!!!! But like I said every birth control is different for every woman and young girls because of the different needs of our bodies, just really talk to your doctor about what kind of BC will fit you and your needs!!!!! | F | 23 | 2 months | 10/13/2013 | 2 | birth control | It was actualy the implanton I had removed 6 days ago.. I don't know why the site is now asking me about this 'nexplanon' I came on hear to complain about the implant (I'm in the uk btw) anywho I'll still have a rant about the implanton as iv come this far already :).. I had the implant the first time when I was around 20 and it worked fine, I didn't notice any problems and it stopped my periods all together! Good times! Then I had it removed after the 3 years were up and didn't get another one as I wanted to give my body a break and wasn't sexualy active at the time.. When I started dateing my now bf I decided to go back on to the implant.. This time has been TOTALY different! More or less constant bleeding for over a year (had it inserted june 2012) I have been anxious, paranoid, had suicidal thoughts (yep), mood swings, bad skin, greesy hair, trouble sleeping and what felt like constant PMS and just all round feeling like crap tbh! I have never in my life been this way,kind of like I was constanly worried all the time.. I felt like the world was against me and my fuse was as short as a may flies life span. Omg. Nightmare.. Anyway it took me a while to realise that it was the implant that was making me feel this way.. I knew about the body changes, weight gain, bad skin ect but never about the 'mental' side. I honestly thought I was loseing it.. I was ready to go to my GP and ask to be put on some sort of meds to help me.. Then I was doing some research and stumbled across | F | 27 | 1 years ?? | 10/13/2013 | 1 | birth control | Bled constantly. Migraines. Extreme bloating. No weight gain but the bloating caused my pants not to fit. Had to have it removed. My doctor said they added a new warning about it causing women to have convulsions. Just get on a pill. They have been around forever and are safer. The new things aren't good for you. I'm on microgynon (sp?) Now and everything is back to normal | F | 23 | 1 years | 8/15/2013 | 4 | Can say im happy with the implant having had it after the birth of my son had alittle bit of spotting but nothing major put on alittle weight although husband hasnt noticed lol apart from the odd tantrum I have my moods seem to be the same and would recommend it to anyone | F | 26 | 1 years | 7/22/2013 | 1 | dont want any more childrrn | I hate this thing it makes me moody, as put loads weight on, no sex drive its horrible i wouldnt.recomend it for any 1. Hoping to get it out asap | F | 21 | 1 days | 7/21/2013 | 3 | Stop cramps control mood swings | The implanon/nexplanon is an ok birth control. 1st you gain a lot of weight. I've gained 58 lbs since feb12. 2. You have mood swings your bipolar your OCD you have depression. You wanna kill people but you don't you honestly hate everyone and don't care anymore and are very irritable. I HATE IT!! I will have it removed soon. | F | 18 | 1 years 80 | 5/29/2013 | 1 | contraception | I had it put in and it was terrible!! Very very moody, derpressed, tired, spotty, achy, ireggular periods etc the list goes on I do not recomend this to any1 not anymore. Worst 3 years of my life!! | F | 21 | 3 years | 5/4/2013 | 1 | I have one | This is my 3 rod now and I got it say its the wores u can have I cum out in spots and on my lady things for about 3 weeks to 4 weeks at a time can any one help me plz because its getting me down now and I'm putting on weight again with it | F | 27 | 3 years 30 | 4/16/2013 | 1 | starting new career | I have turned into a physcho I cost my relationship because now I am angry all of the time my ex said that I have an evil look in my eyes that wasn't there before im scared for my life right now I just want my life back | F | 23 | 2 weeks rod | 4/14/2013 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy and no period | Dizzy eating way to much like every 5 min opposite hand numb headaches | F | 17 | 1 days 30mg | 3/30/2013 | 1 | baby protection | I had the implanon from 08 to 11 no problems. So two months back I decided to get the rod again as it worked last time. Im not sure if its because its nexplanon now if its the prob but I hate it now and am having it removed in two weeks. I have very bad mode swings I hv gone from normal to bipolar n two months hum depressed cramps everyday since i had it. Not to mention the complete loss of my sex drive dont even want to be touched now, and it has also broken out my face so this time its not working and I assure you not worth it i would rather take my chances I hv two kids now 9 and 5 and my symptoms preg were no where near this crappy. So not to be neg but this has been my experience I guess just bec something works once doesn't mean it will again, other wise it works tho but not for me this time, If you are thinking of getting it just be aware of all side effects and please explore other options. ;-) | F | 29 | 2 months | 3/27/2013 | 1 | not wanting children | Dizzyness, headaches, month long periods, weight gain, painful cramps, tiredness, mood swings... | F | 21 | 2 years | 2/1/2013 | 1 | I wanted a long term birth control | I absolutely hate this rod. I have hot flashes. Pregnancy symptoms. First couple months I bled 4 days the first of the month then 9 days a week later or so. I'm very moody I'm extremely mean. It's horrible. When talking to other ladies wanting to get this I tell them not to. I want it removed ASAP. | F | 21 | 4 months | 1/22/2013 | 5 | contraception | Omg. I love love love the implant. After fighting with estrogen containing pills for years and actually conceiving both of my kids on them I finally found this! Depo was great too but I use to have an eating disorder and that makes bone loss issues more likely. Anyways.. I love nexplanon. Highly recommended!!!!!! Also to the person prior.. a few women with clotting disorders got blood clots. It is way less likely to get one with the implant in comparison to combined pills. | F | 29 | 4 years | 12/1/2012 | 1 | birth control | This thing is evil. I got it after my son was born and have been extremely ill since. After many trips to the hospital being tested for everything in the rainbow they took out my implant. Sure enough that was it. Turns out it has a lawsuit against it too foe causing women bloodclots. Do not use this please!!!! I'm not the type to get online and talk bad about things. | F | 21 | 4 months | 10/3/2012 | 1 | No periods and no worry birth contr | Absolute hell. I have completely lost my sex drive and ability to be aroused, causing extreme tension between my partner and I. I experience extreme anger, manic mood swings, depression, fatigue, bleeding for weeks(up to 4 weeks at a time... Causing irritation and insecurities with being intimate with my partner) Pain during sex, pregnancy symptoms, etc... NOT WORTH IT! I will not recommend this to any woman... The effects of it are torture. My doctor actually talked me out of my original plan for bc and assured me that this was the safest and easiest bc. Having it removed ASAP... | F | 21 | 3 years | 9/27/2012 | 3 | birth control | I have had nexplanon rod in my arm 11 months. Before that it was implanon for 3 years, before that Implanon. Before that I was on Depo-Provera. | Every now and again on all of these I get severe headaches, feel naseaus, angry and have period pain without any bleeding | F | 39 | 68mg 3X O | 8/11/2012 | 3 | I wanted long term birth control. | I feel sick often. I threw up the first few days I had it after having a beer or two. Sometimes I feel ill after eating. Especially if I eat too much. I get emotional a lot more often than I ever did before. I haven't had a period since I got on this medication. I haven't had any problems with bleeding either. | This medication is not for everyone. The side effects can be awful. I'm willing to deal with the few I have because I like the idea of long term birth control, and not having a period monthly. I'm going to have it for at least another two years. | 21 | 5 months 1X day | 7/30/2012 | 3 | i have 5 kids and wasnt tryna hav 6 | I'm am extremely hungry all the time.I have every pregnancy symptoms in the book.so every other day I feel pregnant.when I first got on it I stayed on my period for 8 days after that regular 4 days.now none at all.very afraid of getting extra fat.and I could.
