Nexplanon implant

Any mama has gotten the Nexplanon arm implant and feel very off after ? Hot flashes, go from very mad to happy, hard to loose weight, dry skin ? This is my first time. I’ve had it in for almost 5 months now. I don’t like it but I really can’t have another baby right now so that’s why I got it. Please share your experience.

I actually had it for most of my teenage years and never had any issues but after having my son 9 months ago I feel the same way! Literally all the same symptoms it’s so strange

For me I did not like the Nexplanon. I had it in for like three years though, and it messed up my hormones. I lost a lot of weight and was very moody. It worked well tho !

I have it and have had hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and struggle with weight loss. I’m looking at getting mine taken out beginning of November

It made me so depressed I almost killed myself. On top of that I had a period for 4 months straight & I became a shadow of my former self. No periods for a while then BAM random periods that were super painful. When I finally got the courage to take it out the procedure was 2.5 hours long. The mthfkr did not want to let me go 😅 blood everywhere & I was pretty skinny.

Mine was likely implanted too deep but my arm would randomly go numb.

If you are having those issues, I’d probably talk to your doctor about other birth control options for you.

I had it and it was the worst birth control I've ever had and I had them all. From the bleeding for a month to it driving me crazy I couldn't. I had an entire mental break down because of it

I got mine taken out after 6 months as it completely messed with me and ruined my mental health so much that even my other half was insisting I got it out. Was definitely fine before I had a baby but not after.

Hated it.
Had 9 week long periods at a time and when they removed it, it had migrated and the muscle grew around it alot it hurt so bad to get it out and definitely took longer than 30 minutes

I had it for 8 months and then decided to remove it. I spotted for 2 months straight at the beginning than nothing at all. Than the last month and a half I was having period like bleeding a couple times a month with blood clots. My mental health was all over the place, headaches, stomach would cramp, gained weight. When I got it removed it took over an hour because all the muscle and tissue in my arm were covering the implant

I had mine before my pregnancy and I never had any bad symptoms. It was the best birth control I've ever had. Talk to your doctor though because it might be creating a hormonal imbalance or something!

Your hormones are already going through so many changes after birth (your baby is still so young!).
It will definitely affect you negatively.

No birth control is the best option.
Look up natural methods and or use condoms.

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
