Nexplanon
"I've had the Nexplanon since April of 2016 for birth control. I haven't gotten any periods (which is awesome) although as of lately, I have been spotting a little bit. HOWEVER, my biggest complaint is that it DOES make you gain weight. While on the pills, I never had a weight issue, then I made the mistake of switching to the Depo-Provera shot (got it only once) then the implant (12 weeks or so after the implant) and that's when I blew up (25lbs or so). It is all about control because it does increase your appetite, but I'm looking forward to getting this sucker removed and returning the good ol' pills. While it does in fact, prevent pregnancy, I think I'll take my chances with the pills."
