Yall. I got the Nexplanon implant in January. Since then have gained hella weight. Nothing fits me anymore. I went from 150 to nearly 170. Getting pretty close to it anyway. Is the Nexplanon really worth the extra pounds and emotions?

Maybe try the Copper IUD? Just as effective and no hormones!

It really depends, I used to take the pills but it cause me to gain weight and I was so bad at taking them and then it was actually causing a different medical condition I have to worsen. I’m a year on nex and I hardly have periods, just occasionally spotting and have lost weight. It really depends on what your body needs

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I went through the literal same exact thing years ago, got it removed at least 4 years ago now, and I still cannot shed the weight unless I try extremely hard. Even then it’s slow and comes right back. I would probably just stick with it because the benefits are worth it and it may be a lost cause :/
