I have been on nexplanon for a month now. At first it was OK. I got my period 7 days after getting it inserted and have not stopped bleeding yet. I was aware that there would be some spotting, but it has been like a full period for 2 weeks. My vagina has become swollen and irritated...not really these side effects..I had done my research before even choosing a birth control..it is good convenie ... Show Full Comment

My vagina has become swollen and irritated...not really these side effects..I had done my research before even choosing a birth control..it is good convenient wise, but the side effects are not worth it...thinking about having it removed...

On October 30, 2012 I had the Nexplanon(birth control implant) inserted in my arm. I slowly started to get really bad migraines then 2 weeks who I started to get tingling feeling thought my body and blurry vision (do to the migraines) . I contacted my primary care doctor and she put me on migraine medicine and suggested I take out the implant she feels that it was to many hormones in my body. I made a appointment at the OBGYN for the removal and one of the nurses said more and more young girls are getting them removed do to really bad migraines from to many hormones. When I was in the room for the removal they give you a shot to numb the area. Then they make a little cut, tried to find the implant. The PA had a hard time finding it kept moving and it behind muscle and fat. She had to have help from another PA that was in the room watching. With both of them tag teamed they finally found it and pulled it out. It was a extremely painful process!! In just 6 months i gained 15 pounds with Nexplanon Before considering Nexplanon contact your doctor about other forms of birth control.

I loved the idea of having 3 years of protection especially being a college student. The hard thing about this b/c was trying to find reviews online about it. I was never a fan of an IUD so this was the best of both worlds for me. I cant take estrogen Nexplanon doesn't contain estrogen so I thought it would be safe for me. with in the first few days I suffered from intense migraines, breast tenderness & break threw bleeding that lasted two months just last week i begun to develop flu like symptoms including a sore throat the following week I woke up with my hands, feet and lips severely swollen & hot to the touch with a full body bright red rash during the 6 days of this rash that burned so bad i couldn't sleep I also had difficulty breathing a tightness in my chest I went to the E.R & was told only days on the sofa & taking benadryl would help this to end. I knew it was some type of allergic reaction and looked into the side effects of Nexplanon due to my prior encounters with other birth control. It's now day 9, month 3 and my rashes have gone away I don't notice an issue breathing but i still have the burning in my hands & feet with faint itching. I am going to see my doctor to further investigate if the Nexplanon is the sole cause of these complications. Just a warning pay attention to your body especially if your using Nexplanon
