Identifying my type was simply a reference to what my curls will look like when I wear them naturally but you can all see them for yourselves.

Guys!!! Everybody’s body is different... So don’t be freaked out.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Nasir Emmanuel instablaster ;)
@Coleman Derek thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Coleman Derek it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Nasir Emmanuel no problem =)
Thank you so much for this video I’ve had this in for almost 2 years and I have put on 40 pounds, been depressed and sad, it’s good to hear someone especially a black woman speak on this and know I’m not alone. I’m getting this removed ASAP.
Exactly the same for me! Depressed and sad, I've always been happy and bubbly, I hate being mentally unstable!!
And I've gained almost 30 pounds since July 2020 when they put it in!!
I have gained 60 lbs since 2020 because of this, I feel like I'm going insane and I want it out but my parent would be angry
I’m Finna get mine removed cause I’m always sleeping irritated eating cravings and headache smh
GIRL. I just got mine out today for all of the EXACT SAME REASONS!!!! Every single thing you mentioned I experienced. Hopefully I get better soon. I'm so glad you got yours out!
How do you feel now? 💕
Me too. I’m bout to make an appointment
I am absolutely sobbing watching this right now. I had my nexplanon removed yesterday. For anyone who needs to validate their symptoms to get it removed: constant nausea, urgent bowel movements, anxiety, sharp abdominal pain, constant chills, losing sleep, depression, brain fog, constant crying. I went to the ER after being so sick and losing electrolytes and no issues at all, had a full blood panel and ultrasound to look at every organ. I spent the last year getting off of every single prescription drug and vice that I had and the implant was the last and final piece to getting over my symptoms
i hope you’re doing okay right now ! ): 🤍✨
I relate to you so much that’s exactly how I felt I got mines out 2 days ago
Pls let me know how much time it took for you to be back to normal
Same 😩 getting mine out tomorrow how long before you felt normal again ?
Thank you for sharing. No joke I almost killed myself from having severe anxiety non stop for 3months. Lost 11kg from insomnia and of course losing my appetite 2 weeks at a time. Took it out 3 months ago
I can sleep and eat and the anxiety which was 20/10 in unbearability is now 8/10 on bad days. I'm hopeful in Jesus name I will be completely healed.
I would rather get pregnant than experience the nightmare that has been 2023 for me.
It’s only been three and a half months for me and I’m already noticing all these changes. I thought I was just going through a rough patch in life, but now I realize it’s the birth control. I quit my job, stopped associating with friends, hardly come out my room, have no appetite, etc. Birth control really can send you into a depressive stage. I hate the fact nobody talks about this. It’s hard juggling all this while being a senior in high school.
Oh my gosh thank you for making this video. I have nexplanon now and I’ve honestly been feeling CRAZY ever since I got it in. This has been so affirming and I’m definitely getting it out ASAP. Hope you have been feeling more like yourself!!!
I never like/comment on videos, but this hit home. It’s like you’re telling my story. First year of marriage, the harmful thoughts, and weight gain. Literally everything. It’s been hard, but it comes out in 2 days. Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
Maybe I'm the luckiest woman alive because I have none of these side effects .I just got it off yesterday and put it back one time I love it.. The only thing my period comes ones a blue
That’s great to hear! One of my coworkers swears by Nexplanon! I’m glad you’re one of those ppl that haven’t had any side effects! I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. I hope it continues to work for you! 🤗🙏🏽
I got mine's today and so far so good
That’s great to hear! I hope your experience goes well And stays that way! 🤗🙏🏽
@@haileychanelle I'll let you know how it goes .. But so far so good..
Thank you!!
You had me in tears when you talked about just being able to make it to the day when it gets taken out my appointment is Monday...I have never been so depressed...it has been awful i don’t wish this on my worst enemy..Thanks for sharing your story..you are gorgeous by the way and you have such a warm spirit.
You've got one day to go! You can make it! I hope the removal process goes smoothly and that your depression goes away ASAP! 🙏🏽 I agree, I would't wish this upon my worst enemy. Thank you so much! So are you! 🤗
Back to normal finally I couldn't be any happier😁😁😁
I have feeling that way, my gosh I want this thing out🤞😔
me too. thank you as well for this comment. you are so strong ! and you are loved ! i appreciate you
@@teena82 how long did it take you to get back normal?
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Makes those of us that are currently struggling with these symptoms feel validated and less alone.
me too! 💯 % agree! 😢
i’ve had mine on since june 26th of this year
Got mine removed today! Had it for 18 months. And I worked in Health care. You were right on the money. I had no more heavy periods but gained 40 lbs and horrible acne. Grrrr love you.
I am getting mine taken out this weekend, did you see a significant change after removing it? xx I gained so much weight and acne my god!
I didn’t have my period while on this implant and I’m lucky to be in that percentage, but throughout the years, I have been depressed, suicidal, have anxiety, have panic attacks, and I am very emotional on the little things in my life. Like I feel like I have to cry all the time and I gained a lot of weight thinking it was just my depression. It’s been 4 years and I need to take it out soon because it’s almost expired. It was a good run, but I feel like I would be in a much better mood like you than I have been. I am scared to take it out because I hate needles or anything to do with the doctors, but I also feel like I need to do this. Thank you for putting your experience on here so that woman can see everyone’s experiences and what they can expect!
i relate to this 100%. i think it’s time i take it out. it hasn’t even been that long for me either
Kika are u feeling better now?
@@satbirgill2181 yes I am! Thank you for your concern! I did take it out 8 months ago and I’m feeling a lot better than I did before ☺️
I'm going to remove mine too because I'm going through this very same thing except no weight gain. I feel crazy, I cry and don't know why.
I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope your removal process goes well!🙏🏽🤗
Omg...I am crying as I'm reading this. I started my research because this two years with the implant have been hard. I always keep finding excuses not to remove it because I don't want any more kids. I feel anxious all the time. I feel sad for ml reason. I'm always upset. After this video I am sooo ready to get it removed. Thank you 😊
You have explained exactly how I have been feeling for the past year!! I've been so afraid to drive for the past 5 months. Anxiety, depression, short temper, and it's not fair to my hubby or my kids. Thank you for this! You and many others have showed me what I needed to know. And I'm praying daily!! It'll be 2 years in July and I'm thinking about getting it removed early. I've been mentally unstable since August 13th 2021.
I literally bless God for you! Thank you for the will you share! First of all you’re beautiful 💜 I experienced sooo much of what you did I literally could only say Jesus and thank you! I got my nexplanon out today! Took 30min forger to be able to get it out! God is able I hope you and your husband are great! Thank you again God gas definitely used you in a blessed way
I've felt exactly the same u have DESCRIBED!Im so happy u were brave enough to make this video because I thought I was losing my mind for the past 6 years of having that poison in my arm !!
I was so excited to try Nexplanon after hearing one of my friends experiences with it… so I had it implanted August 2020. It took me until this past September 2021 to REALIZE the massive changes in my mental, physical, emotional and sexual health taking a toll on me. I bled so often in the 14 months I had Nexplanon, it killed my libido, I gained weight that I kept off for 8+ years, cystic acne all over my face especially my jawline and cheeks, lethargy, extreme decreased excitement for life, mood swings galore, I requested evaluation for bipolar disorder(before connecting the dots), and pretty much everything you already listed. I THANKFULLY followed through with removing that little demon rod yesterday! The doctor tried said we need to do a pap in order to remove it, I was in tears saying I refuse to undress(I was in extreme distress and self consciousness of my body and the bleeding), pretty much begging to just remove the damn implant. Now I’m in the rabbit hole hearing other womens stories. Thank you so very much for this video, I don’t feel as crazy anymore! I can’t wait for my body to get back into its natural rhythm I am SO relieved 💩
GIRL. I never had such severe acne until I got this…I’m 28 and thought Wtf why am I breaking out ALL over my face chest and back!! I’m on all kinds of mood stabilizers now including prozac amongst others for sleep because this truly messed me up I’m relieved to hear I’m not alone I’m getting mine out asap
@@user-qw7zq1vn5y I’ve never been so relieved to be over and done with that experience. Since I got the implant taken out back like 6 months ago, it still took like 4 months for my body to get back into a regular cycle. I’m gonna tell you right now love, be patient, because once you get it taken out it’ll still be some time before your body adjusts back to normal. Keep your chin up!
Im going to get mine taken out tomorrow. Im hoping Maca Root, a detox and God can help my body and brain go back to normal sooner than that timeline cuz chile.
@@Iambriel how are you feeling now I’m getting mine removed tomorrow 😩
@@tyrionwilliams6747 much f-ing better. These should be illegal
I felt it when you starting talking about driving off the road and intrusive thoughts. I literally thought the same thing yesterday driving to my aunts house. I’ve had my implant for about 3 years now and the past year and a half i’ve been dealing with extreme anxiety to the point where i can’t control myself. After doing all this research i think it’s time i get it removed. Great video, thank you!
Wow.. Me too
Girl I’m getting mines removed Wednesday and I cannot wait! You are saying everything I’m feeling. My baby is two now so I had it in almost two years. Time for it to go
I swear I can’t thank you enough for this video. I really was starting to think I was going crazy. That I was the only one who had these same feelings and thoughts. I have a appointment tomorrow to get it removed and was getting ready to talk my self out of it until I saw your video. I have never felt so mentally unstable especially since I have 2 kids I just was feeling like I was falling off as a parent. But I am so ready and can’t wait to get it removed.
I had the same suicidal thoughts and depression as you did while using nexplanon, which is why I'm getting it removed tomorrow. Its good to know that I'm not the only one that felt like this, and im glad that youre feeling better now. Thank you for making this video
Hi I’m currently dealing with some similarities with this birth control as well it sucks! I’d love to know if you feel better after removal I just made an appointment hoping it does help 🙏
@@AdrianaMartinez-ds5df Hi! I feel much better now honestly, much less depressed and no more suicidal thoughts. I’ve also lost 2kg and my skin has gotten better. Although my first couple periods after getting it removed were super painful (more so than before). Hope this helps!
I have been wondering why am depressed and moody and have been for two years. Had no period för a year and a half then suddenly had bleeding a whole month. Went to my gyn and no problem with me they said. Have been working out trying to get in shape but instead i gained 3 kg and am shocked because i have always had very easy to loose kgs, am taking this thing out asap, The mental state have been in, this aint worth it, id rather be pregnant.
I’m on my second round. About to be at my 6th year and for sure stopping! I’m justttt realizing how much I changed emotionally. I hope getting it out will help me too.
It’s the subtle changes that get us all! Smh but I’m glad you noticed! Hoping the removal is painless and your hormonal transition back to normal is smooth!🙏🏽🤗
I’m on year 4 and am deciding to finally remove it. The amount of stress it causes isn’t comparable to anything else I could go through.
This video had me I’m tears because I finally got mine out last week after having if for 3 yrs and this video completely described and validated everything I was feeling due to Nexplanon… I kid you not as soon as it was out of my body I felt like myself again. Honestly I understand it affects everyone differently but definitely do the research on this before you get on it
went through all this already! taking it out next week thank god! and thank you for this video 💓
Wow, the suicidal part. I hear you. I’m already moody, so birth control might really make me smack somebody.
Lol Everyone reacts differently but its definitely something to consider 🤣
It was so nice to see this and realize that other people are feeling the EXACT way I do. Thank you
This video has hit very close to home, thank you for taking the time to outline changes you've noticed with the nexplanon, I've been feeling progressively worse over the last 6 months since getting it in September 2021... and here I thought I was slowly going bonkers, literally every symptom you have noted is matching mine too. Only reason I stumbled across the thought maybe it was the birth control was because on my home from work the other night I saw a power pole and the thought crossed my mind to drive into it and this is truly a horrifying thought especially when it comes out of nowhere. But mood changes and apathy is totally going on with 10kg weight gain for me in the last 3 months. Not good at all for self image when previously being more athletic in nature! Cheers heaps for your video I'll be making an appointment with a GP to get this devils rod out of me :)
OMFGGGG THAT SUCIDAL THOUGHTS ABOUT DRIVING OFF THE CLIFF WERE MY SAME THOUGHTS WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! IM GETTING IT OUT OF ME MONDAY!!! I’m so glad I found this thank you!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My cramps are insane, I still have my cycle. I am depressed and have lost all motivation. I constantly over think, I snap at my loved ones. I’m getting it taken out as soon as I can.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been suicidal twice in my life: once in high school when I was on the shot form of birth control, and now in my late 20s when I got the implant. I’ve never had a depressive thought any other time
Thankyou for doing this video. I actually feel like I’m going crazy.. since getting the nexplanon in 9 months ago, it’s been a slow but sure spiral into depression on a deep level, emotional numbness, suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, the weight gain & complete feeling of self hate and insecurity. I’m getting it removed as soon as I possibly can. I could 100% relate when you said you were praying to God to just help you make it to the day of implant removal!!
I’ve had one in since 2014 (replacing as it expired ofc) but this year I noticed all, if not more, the changes you mentioned in this video. I was a size 0 now I’m a size 4 and I’m always bloated and just not myself overall. Can’t wait for the removal and my renewal into this new chapter. The best pro I had with the nexplanon was not having a period. Aside from that, it’s time to get back to being myself @ 100%. Lovely video! Happy to see other women of color had similar experiences
Girl, I had the same experience, and I got engaged in the middle of this. (My poor fiancé) It was awful for me. No sex drive, freaked out over small things, couldn’t sleep, was nasty and mean, depressed, shaky and anxious, 3 month long period….none of that was normal for me before I got the implant. I just got mine removed. Birth control is a wonderful invention but some of us women really struggle finding one that works for us. I was the same way with depo shot. Also, I think videos like this are important to share. If other women didn’t post their experiences, I would have never known it was my birth control.
It’s so sad that we have to deal with this I am dealing with currently the worst anxiety depression even panic attacks and have never felt this way ever and I have had this birth control since 2018, it has never been anxiety until a couple months ago, and I just booked my appointment for removal I can not wait to hopefully feel normal I hope you are doing good I’d love to hear how you are feeling!
@@AdrianaMartinez-ds5df it does suck, I wish they could find something that works as well as birth control but doesn’t have so many side effects. But the difference has been night and day for me! I have way more control over my emotions, been less depressed, less anxiety, I’m in the mood for sex more, better periods, the list goes on. Depo and Nexplanon literally changed me into a person I didn’t recognize and I am super happy I made the decision to take it out.
@@AdrianaMartinez-ds5df if you’re having a bad experience I highly suggest taking it out and talking to your doctor about it. I’m so sorry this has been your experience as well. I know the hell I went through and we need better options as women. I’ve heard pretty good results with the nuva ring. My fiancé and I are going to do the fertility awareness method because we are getting to the point where we want children so if an oopsies happens, we will be happy! Good luck ❤️
This birth control did the EXACT SAME THING to me both physically and mentally! Only difference is I bled continuously. I had mine removed yesterday and of course I’m still bleeding BUT now that it’s out I know it’ll eventually stop. I’ll never look back on nexplanon. I’m glad you got it out before it was too late. Sending love!
Thank you so much for this. I am getting it removed tomorrow. I am going through all this now.
Oh My! You're very welcome!🤗 How did your procedure go?
I’m am feeling all of this and ready to take it out omg
I knew this whole time it was the nexplanon
I’m taking mine out today;I gained a lot of weight,frequently bloating no period ,mood swings etc
@@msshondelrobinson6837 me too right now so depress
Omg... I am getting mine removed tomorrow. I am so happy. My daughter was born March 2019 and I got mine put in May 2019. It made my acne worse and my hair was shedding more. It’s like nothing I do will help me loose weight since having my baby and she’s 18 months now. My arm itches sometimes where it was put in. I feel so insecure and I don’t take pictures like I use to. Also I have had digestive problems like colitis since I got it. Also lost my sex drive and it’s affecting my marriage as well as the short temper and depression. I never smile anymore. Now I know it’s the birth control. This is my 3rd time having this birth control and it never did anything before maybe they changed the medicine. I am so happy to be having it removed tomorrow. Thank you for this video it really helped me to know that someone else experienced some of the same symptoms from the Nexplanon. Now I don’t feel so alone 🙂
You are very welcome!!!! I’m sorry you’ve gone through all of that! Though I’m smiling in the video, there wasn’t much to smile about when it was happening so I can relate! I’m glad you’re getting it taken out and I hope your body goes back to normal! Feeling like you don’t have control over your own body is miserable!! Girl you are NOT imagining things! You are not going crazy! These hormones just aren’t for us 😂 Best of luck to you and your implant removal journey! 🤗
I've just come across your blog/video.
I'm currently going through all the emotions, I've had the implant in for 1 year and 3 months and I've never felt this bad before, these past few months the bleeding is getting worse, I'm constantly spotting now. No sex drive, no motivation, and my sleep isn't right, too. Now gaining weight. I really can't wait to get it out of me. Thank you for doing this because it made me realise I'm not going insane.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I also got mine like couple months before my wedding and I’ve had the same exact issues as you. I’ve had mine for 3 years. It took me two years and after moving in with my husband to realize that the birth control is having negative effects on me. As soon as the I realized I scheduled my appointment. Took it out today! I’m hoping to see changes going forward.
Any update ?
I just got mine out today and never really thought about how my mood had done a complete 360 until watching your video. I experienced everything you did except the weight gain. I have never been suicidal until now in my life and I hope someone sees your video like I did before they hurt themselves.
How do you feel now? I removed mine yesterday.. and it is so tough rn
@@angelica1029 how do u feel now ?
@@sabrinawilliams1585 So much better! I suffered intrusive thoughts and depersonalisation for a few months. Panic attacks like never before and it was just a very dark time. I’m recovering so well ❤️ Do you have issues with this?
@@angelica1029 No I don't anymore it took about a week and a half for me to feel completely myself again ! I had it removed march7 and its march 17th I feel 100% myself now
I have a cycle every other week, 7 on 7 off, less blood more clots, sometimes just passing tissue without the blood. More of an emotional imbalance to everyone. Non exsistant sex drive. I feel exactly as you do, and this video made me bawl my eyes out bc i thought i was just feeling like this normally. Im taking mine out, i am so miserable. And thank you.
My friend loved this! I’m getting mine out this week, mood swings are worse than when I was pregnant!
I’m definitely getting mine out soon! Thank you so much for making this video. Everything you’ve talked about I have experienced. Except the bleeding I would only get a period every 6-12 months. There was a time I didn’t get my period for over a year. And when I do I don’t get my pms symptoms like bloating cramping etc until after the bleeding is gone. I had cramps so bad they are unreal the amount of pain I’m in feeling like I’m going to pass out. Definitely making an appointment to get it out
Thank you so much, Hailey, for putting up such an open video. I am so upset against the people making nexplanon and my PCP who gave me all kind of crap reasons to make me use the nexplanon. I was looking for a way to voice my frustration and anger and to advocate for ant other woman to use nexplanon when I found your video.
Please remember that everybody’s body is different. I’ve been on nexplanon for 3 years and am getting it taken out & put back in for another 3. I didn’t get many of these side effects but that’s just me, because everyone is different. You can advocate from personal experience but please don’t scare others away because medicines affect all of us differently.
@@macsaucee4447 That was never my intent to scare anyone, Megan. I only wanted to get my frustration out of my chest. That's what I believe I did. If anyone felt different than that, thank you for giving me the opportunity to say it again: my only intention was to share my story and my frustration. Maybe a scientific study will be the only response to know what is the real percentage of women using nexplanon experienced the undesirable side effects. Maybe only then, it won't be about being scared or getting people scared. It will be just fact.
Thank you so much. I have the same exact thoughts and no one understands. Thank you I don’t feel alone anymore
amen!!! No to contraceptives! Thank you for sharing your experiences. Makes me more courageous to have this thing out of me. ugghhhhh!!
Omg. Im so thankful for u posting this!! I thought I was just crazy and overweight 😩🥺 my nexplanon isn't due to come out till may and now I want it out right now!!
I'm so sorry you can relate ☹️You're not alone! You can get your Nexplanon taken out whenever you want. However, you need to check with your insurance to make sure they will cover you for removing it before your original removal date. I hope everything works out for you! 🤗🙏🏽
@@haileychanelle I dont know how I never thought it could be the birth control🤯 im definitely calling today to schedule removal. Thanks so much girl!! Im ready to get back to myself🥺
I'm so glad people are speaking up nexplanon was a nightmare
Thank you I almost cried watching this so glad I’m getting mine out tomorrow
When you said u had thoughts about driving off a cliff I have those often mostly when driving just saying go right into that pole crazy thing I had same exact thought in my head on the way home and came across your video , crazy how god works !
That's how I feel. Thank you for your video. I m feel very depressed and going crazy.
I wish I would have watched this before! I just got it removed today, 5 months before the 3rd year. I’ve experienced the hormonal changes and never even thought about it being related to the implant! Excited to see how I feel now that it’s out!
how are you feeling now??
I’m glad I came across this video! I just had my baby 2months ago and made an appointment to get this and now I’m 2nd guessing so I will cancel my appointment. I’m already dealing with ppd and hormones trying to regulate so to put more hormones in my body won’t be a great idea and in order for me to be a great mother I have to be good within first. I never had a good experience with BC anyway, I’ve tried the pill and shot. Both took my body so long to regulate after stopping them, I was infertile for a year and a half and bled for months making me an emotional wreck. Thank you for the video 😇
No problem! Definitely do the research and what’s best for you! You know your body best! Some people have absolutely no problems with it but clearly I wasn’t the one lol good luck on your journey and congrats on your new little one!🤗
I also experienced many of the same symptoms you explained. Additionally, I had tremendous hair loss. It’s been 1 month after the removal of the implant and although the weight has yet to come off (even with exercise and in a calorie deficit), I feel mentally better. Thank you for sharing.
Hair loss!!!! My hair is coming out in BUNCHES!!! This thing is coming out of my arm ASAP!
I know that it works differently for everyone, but for myself, it wasn’t a good choice. My cycle was totally off (one cycle would be light 3 days then a week later I’d get it again and this time it would be heavy for almost 2 weeks!) definitely had MAJOR fatigue, occasional insomnia, no depression but my social anxiety skyrocketed (COVID didn’t help, I literally got it around the time the pandemic started,) a huge amount of weight gain (I was around 160 when I got it 3 years ago, I’m 210 now, and believe me I’ve tried to loose it), I had very low motivation to get back into fitness after weightlifting for like 4 yrs, I think it might have even contributed to making my migraines worse. I honestly never gave it a thought, never did I think the nexplenon was causing everything, but when I realized it was almost time to get it removed, it all clicked, and I knew I did NOT want to replace it. It’s only been a little over 24hrs since I had it removed, I don’t feel a difference yet, but I’m looking forward to making some changes, getting my health back into gear is my number 1 goal.
I feel so safe hearing you speak you seem so nice and you are such a beautiful soul. I have an appointment to get mines in two weeks and idk what to do the shot made me loose 30lbs and now I’m skin and bones and insecure. I’m trying to gain weight but then I’m sad all the time not being on birth control so don’t know if this is gonna make it worse.. idk what to do I’m lost.
Aww, I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time. One thing I would suggest is seeing a therapist. My therapist has helped me A LOT through this whole adjustment process! You are beautiful! Weight can be gained and if you want, a personal trainer can help you make a meal/exercise plan to get you to your goal. But self confidence comes from within. Do what makes you feel beautiful and keeps you healthy. Keep us posted on your progress please! 🙏🏽🤗
I just got my Nexplanon implant removed today! My doctor never warned me about these side effects but I wish I would have done more research on my own. This whole time I thought I was crazy! But listening to your experience and other woman here on UA-cam made me make my final decision. I can't believe how much it has affected my life and even my relationship with my partner. I do think his is the worst decision I have ever made to my body... I can relate so much to your story! Thank you for being so open to sharing your experience you really helped me understand what I was going through! Can't wait to start my life over birth control free! 💕🥰
Getting mine removed next week can't deal with it anymore it been 4 months n I gained 30 pounds makes me so sleepy and hungry all the times. Cramps are crazy but no period at all
My mood changed I seen my self hating so many things I couldn't deal with my husband at all and don't even wanna see him lol so I need it removed asap
You know I completely understand and I am so sorry you're feeling like this! It definitely takes a toll on who you are and how you interact with loved ones. I hope you're able to schedule to get it removed as soon as possible. I also hope that until then, your symptoms lessen to a more manageable state🤗🙏🏽
Omg yes, the insane increase of appetite might have been the absolutely worst part amongst the many other cons on the list, but that following with the weight gain. Terrible
This is exactly what the depo shot did to me!! I'm considering nexplanon because it's the only progestin I haven't tried yet lol.
Thank you sm for sharing just got mine out and going thru this all!!
No problem! I hope my videos help and I hope your recovery process goes well!🙏🏽🤗
Am newly married. Got pregnant a mth before I got married. Sis it all went down hill from there. I felt you when u said u love this man and u were being mean to him😢 I gain soooooooo much weight with this pregnancy. I am literally counting down the days to get my life my body, my energy,my mental health. EVERYTHING! BACK. So thank u so much for this vid ❤❤❤ This is definitely not for me. My body can't go thru this again
So far I haven’t bled on this birth control at all it’s been almost a year and I’ve gained 30lbs I’m always moody or upset I never realized my thoughts were so effected by this thing I think some of the scariest things and this made me decide to get it out! I’m making my appointment tomarrow!
It’s true! We don’t really think about our mental state, only our physical cause it’s the most obvious. But, hormone changes definitely can affect it all! I hope your removal process goes well!!! 🙏🏽🤗
All that your saying, I feel 100%. I’m about to schedule to have mine removed too! This is my second go around and our kids are 13 & 7...I’m just nervous about surprises 🥴...(I don’t trust my husband 🤣🥴).
I am CRYING @ “ I don’t trust my husband” that is sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I feel you 100% which is why it took me so long to get mine out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hate that you’re experiencing a rough time with it too☹️ I hope you feel better after you get it taken out. Good luck with everything! 🙏🏽🤗
@@haileychanelle Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Yes, I have to get him together cause homie is reckless.
Thank you so much for this i thought all this was just in my head , im getting this thing removed asap
Omg i had all of these symptoms, especially the short temper and low libido with my partner
Yea, it sucks because you feel like there’s nothing you can do to control the outbursts or irritation. And they just end up being at the wrong end of a hormone imbalance. I hope you’re doing better! 🙏🏽🤗
@@haileychanelle Yes! Exactly! And thank you, i got it out like two days ago so im a happy camper
Grace Livingston that’s great to hear! I’m glad you already feel better!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗🤗🤗
That exactly how I’ve been feeling but I didn’t know exactly how to explain it to people. I just got it taken out today I hope things get better for me
This deserves so many more views
Awww I agree! However, not for my sake, but so people can know they are not alone in their symptoms.
I have it and you are not lying😩
This is literally all me right now! I went to try and get it taken out and my gyno said it was too early and i had already been on it for a year now. They put me on depression meds which I’ve been needing for most of my life but i don’t think that’s all that’s wrong. I haven’t had a cycle while being on it but i have pcos and im constantly nauseous and throwing up and girl i feel you on all of the emotional things. I didn’t know i had pcos when i got the implant and I’ve gained so much weight, I’ve been so sick for months I’ve lost 30 pounds because i literally cannot hold anything in my system. Im getting it out today and im so ready for it.
Thank you for this! 🥰
You’re welcome!🤗
Im sorry you had that experience..Im so glad im not having these systems. I can deal with a extra couple days of a period went from a 4 day to 8 other than that im good... Weight gain is just me being lazy and at home and eating cookies...
lol I thought it was me being lazy too until I tried to lose it and it wouldn’t go anywhere 😂 but in glad you’re overall experience is a positive one 🤗
i just got mine removed about a week ago, i had it for a year - went up 2 cup sizes and gained SOOOOO much weight and when i first got it i was in a horrible mental state to the point i had to go on antidepressants. im hoping it gets better soon. its so reassuring to hear other women experiencing everything i was experiencing ;-;
I got mine taken out last week and already feel better. I had mood swings really bad. It was putting a strain on my new marriage. Hoping mood continues to improve
we had the same experiance expect i never wanted to stop sleeping. but the car bit...... i literally think this all the time. i was on the fence about talking it out because i didnt want to have another baby... but thank you for making this video because i didnt know if it was me or the birthcontrol
I’m so happy to help! I definitely understand hesitating to take it out because you don’t want to get pregnant. You’re not alone in this! If you still need help, get a therapist or talk to your doctor. My therapist has helped me understand what was “me” vs the birth control. I hope you’re able to come to a decision that works for you and your future! 🙏🏽🤗
Omg I am literally going through all this, I was so depressed all May, period smell awful, long cramps and so much clots. The part you talked about driving, that has been my thoughts for a while now. I can’t do this anymore!
I’ve had mine for almost 2 years and during the first year i would get a period every 2 months…now i just had a period for 8 days then it stopped for two days and now I’m cramping and spotting again. I’m always depressed and having mood swings…Idk what to do 😭
I just saw your video and omg everything you said it’s happening to me i call today so i can take it off i am tired of feeling sad depressed and low energy plus ever since they put it on I have not have my period and that’s scary this is the 2 time i get it but its been so different than the first time thank you sooo much
No problem! I’m glad I was able to help! I’m sorry you were feeling depressed and sad, I wouldn’t wish these symptoms on anyone. I hope you’re able to get it out soon, return to normal, and find a contraceptive method that works for you! 🤗🙏🏽
i have pcos and my doctor recommended me this so im looking at others experiences just to be sure tysm
im also underweight so if it gives me appetite thatd be a plus. im just worried about my emotional health aa
kim lol it didn’t make me eat more, it just made my metabolism slow down. Definitely do your research. No matter what hormone/ birth control you’re given, always keep track of your mental and physical state. I know a lot of people that have had success with pcos by using birth control. I hope all goes well for you! 🙏🏽🤗
I have three friends who have it with no problems. It depends on the person :)
I can completely relate!!! I got mine 2 months before my wedding in August 2019. The first two months (June 2019) I spotted then had two heavy periods for about 10-15 days out of the month for only two months. By the 3rd month my period was completely gone. I had been on Nexplanon for 17 months. On month 16 I finally had a 4 day light period. During these 17 months once in a while I experienced very light cramping, which I thought maybe my period was coming on. But nope, no period. Guess having no period for some may be considered a plus. I didn't mind the missing period. I did however mind how gradually I gained weight (in 3 months from June to Sept. I gained 15 lbs). I also felt anxious, nervous, experienced anxiety, heart palpitations, heavy breathing, dizziness, nauseousness, at times vomiting, a constant sore throat, constantly having UTIs, vaginal dryness, numbness of arms (light tingling in fingers), light flaky peeling skin on feet and hands, increased candida infection, insomnia (sleeping about 3 hrs/day), and a small change in eyesight. I could deal with all the aforementioned and would have probably stayed on it until it ran it's course. But what really made me take it out was the massive change in my mood. For no reason I bad mood swings. One moment I was happy, then irritated, then a rage would come over me. But what took the cake was the depression and to add insult to injury the suicidal thoughts. The depression was soooo subtle and accompanied with constant suicidal thoughts. Constant, constant suicidal thoughts! Not to mention the lack of motivation, feelings of hopelessness, and not caring about anyone or anything in life, feeling numb inside. If I died, it didn't matter. It was at this point I said enough is enough. Today I finally took it out!!! It took two weeks for me "convince" myself and motivate myself to make the decision to remove this out of me. I'm grateful I have removed it.
It was hilarious that when I was explaining to the doctor my symptoms he said that he's never heard of anyone going through what I described and I'm the first person he's heard that from, and to me it seem like I was making it up. I felt like telling him to look at Nexplanon's website cause all the side effects I mentioned are on their website, including suicidal thoughts. I wish I had looked at the side effects before putting this thing in me. But I'm glad I finally put the pieces together. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and discovered that many women have experienced what I experienced. Thanks to their stories I was able to identify that Nexplanon was the cause of my symptoms these last 17 months. Now I hope that in a few weeks I'll be back to my old self. This is just my story that I want to share in case any other woman out there is going through what I went through while on Nexoplan.
Though it’s a scary story, it is one that needs to be told and I appreciate you for sharing with us here. Though I have much love and respect for the medical field - a field I will prayerfully next joining soon - it still baffles/scares me how much physicians ignore the cries of their patients. I’m glad you listened to your body and researched. Congrats on getting it taken out! I hope your journey only goes up from here! 🤗🙏🏽
This is so sad but true. When I decided to quit my birth control, I explained to my ob everything I had experienced while on bc. She literally said the exact thing and made me feel like I was in the wrong for voicing my side effects and symptoms related to my bc. My skin began to flare up dramatically, I experienced bouts of depression like never before, had irregular cycles (something I’ve been used to all my life), however, the continuous spotting was a complete nightmare, experienced frequent vaginal infections which I never EVER experienced before starting bc, and suffered from low sex drive. I am currently on the nexplanon and have had it for the past 4-5 months. I’m currently dealing with severe emotional distress, frequent crying spells, and endless feelings of hopelessness. I’m hoping for better times, but it’s really great to know that I’m not alone through this. If things don’t look better, I am planning on removing this thing!!! 😖
@@lizamarieesquivel9376 please I advise you take it out before it gets worst
had same experience, but took it out last month I pray God heal me and get me back to my normal self
@@ogarlizzy1956 Thank you for your sound advice and feedback. It feels great being able to openly discuss issues that women like us experience while on bc. I am not saying this is not a good option for every woman out there, but I can definitely say that I tried it and it didn’t work for me.
I love your hair 😍
I got it 3 weeks ago. For a week now, I’ve been crying randomly everyday and I feel extremely anxious. Heart rate has also been way up. The best way to explain how I feel is….you know when someone says “hey, we need to talk” and you somewhat feel instant panic and nervousness in that moment? That’s how I feel all day.
Same, I got mine removed yesterday. Never again ❗❗
@@Browneyedbeautyy13563 keep me updated!
@@Captain5072 will do
@@Browneyedbeautyy13563 How do u feel?
@jasmine brown how are you feeling love ? I’m currently dealing with some similarities with this birth control as well it sucks! I’d love to know if you feel better after removal I just made an appointment hoping it does help 🙏
All those reasons you listed are why I am getting mine removed after 2 years...Nexplanon was the worst decision I’ve made and it completely changed me emotionally
I came to this video to try to find comfort. I had the nexplanon for about 10 months. I got it out five days ago and my body is trying to regulate at the moment. For the first time in my life I’m having severe panic attacks, I can’t work, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything. Knowing other women have had the same troubles as me is comforting. Please no one get this. It’s not worth it.
I am so sorry! You are not alone. These symptoms can be scary! Hopefully everything clears up! 🙏🏽🤗
How are you feeling now?
@@KRK861 SO MUCH BETTER. I actually want sex again lol!! (I had zero libido before 😂😭)
I’m back at work, eating again, sleeping again, and feeling like myself again!!! My mood all around has improved. I’m having my first period after having it taken out and it hasn’t been too bad. Mentally I just have a lot more clarity. I feel less sad, anxious, and irritable. It may work for some women, but I’m definitely glad I got it taken out.
@@gabriellasalgado9936 awesome! I’ve been on it since August and the last month has been so bad for me mentally. Before nexplanon I’ve never experienced depression or anxiety but it’s been sky high. Like I feel empty and zero libido. The worst thing is it has me questioning if I even like my boyfriend 😫. I got a heat rash from the anxiety tonight. I get it out next week and can not wait!!
@@KRK861 I feel you 100%!! I’ve been with my man almost three years, never doubted us or had any problems. I swear that implant turned me into someone completely different. I questioned everything, was up one moment and down the next. Just mad, sad, and irritated all the time, never in the mood for anything, I need to get him a medal for sticking with me through it all lol. It feels so good just feeling like myself again. You’re definitely not alone and I hope everything goes smoothly with your removal and recovery!! ❣️
I started it to stop my long period cycles and cramps. I was encouraged to keep it in for the 3 month trial period despite immediately having an allergic reaction a day after insertion that made my whole arm swell up, heavy bleeding nonstop, cramps that caused nausea, horrible mood swings (but I was mostly in a horrible mood 24/7) and a medication of mine that I need to take stopped working. I was told “your body will adjust just give it time!” And I actually lost weight from the nausea and my skin got horrible (I’d never had bad acne before). Needless to say I NEVER adjusted and spent three months in agony. I went to my OBGYN again and she immediately told me to have it removed and a few minutes later it was gone. I immediately felt so much better, and I don’t have to worry about it slowly disappearing into my arm and ending up in my heart. I’m NEVER EVER going to get the implant again.
Ella Elliott oh wow! That’s a lot to go through in 3 months! I’m so sorry you experienced all off that! I’m glad you got it taken out quickly! I’m glad you feel better! 🤗
@@haileychanelle thank you!
I got my implant in sept 2021 with a great hope. I started bleeding clots everyday after that for 5 months. My whole arm and hand was sore and i never drove in that time, I couldn't wear my dress, jackets without help. I was told by my gynecologist that my body is getting adjusted. One fine day i went and forced my gynecologist to remove that bloody little pin 📌 from my arm and finally it's out. My period stopped but arm is very sore as gynecologist said it caused a nerve damage
Thank you I’ve literally put on 65 lbs on this and I’ve thought the same way I’ve only had it in for less then a year and just recently got it removed
Feeling down a lot, low libido, mood swings and extreme fatigue is why I’m taking mine out
I completely understand. I hope the procedure goes well and that your body gets back to normal soon!
@@haileychanelle thanks so much for this video
No Problem! 🤗
@@jessreal2you202 did u get urs taken out yet?
I’ve been wanting so badly to take my implant out. Noticed emotionally I am not the same anymore. I’m 17 it’s been so hard for me to handle the emotions and the thoughts and the anger. I’ve just been pushing everything and everyone away. Feel so lost and unreal. NEED to get my nexplanon out. FOR REAL
I have had every symptom you mentioned in your video. I am getting mine removed in a week. The way the hormones change your body is just too much for me as well❤
I am in Nexplanon since October and gained so much weight in my belly and acne along my jawline. It’s so horrible and this just confirmed I should take it out.
I’ve had it for almost 2 yrs and it took me trying to loose weight to realize the nexplanon was making me gain a lot of weight! Then while watching your video I realized that wasn’t the only thing happening. I got it removed a couple days ago! Told my doctor that I won’t be using birth control for awhile
Kesha Victoriano Congratulations!!! I’m glad I could help and that you could get it out quickly! That weight loss is a real eye opener cause you feel like you’re failing even though you’re doing all of the right things! I really hope whatever symptoms you have improve and that you can reach your weight loss goal! 🤗🙏🏽🤞🏽
How are you feeling now?
KK i actually feel really good! I am doing an update video soon because I’ve had a lot of hormonal changes (not related to birth control at all). But all in all I feel very close to my normal self and the depression/suicidal thoughts are gone!
@@haileychanelle oh good!! I’m glad to hear that and it gives me hope. I’ve never had BC before so I think my body is sensitive to the nexplanon. It literally has me feeling so sad and anxious and empty in general. It’s ruined my sleep because my anxiety gives me nightmares! Ontop of that it has me questioning my feelings for my boyfriend which is so crazy. I get it out next week and seriously can’t wait
Tbh many people that have had BC before have had those same reactions so it might just be the Nexplanon 🤷🏽♀️. Either way, I hope everything goes back to normal once you get it out! 🙏🏽Keep ya posted! 🤗
Ive had it for a year and gained 30 pounds no matter how much I try to work it off it keeps going. I have had my period for 2 months super heavy and it has absolutely wrecked my self esteem im getting mine out next week and omg girl I can't wait. I am 15 years old and 160 pounds and really just am not as confident in myself at all
I completely understand! My weight gain definitely had me lacking in self confidence and I know it can be hard. Just know you are still beautiful, even if you don’t feel like it! 😍 I hope you are able to find a birth control that works for you, that your cycle balances out, and that your removal process goes well!🤗🙏🏽Be encouraged and stay beautiful!
Same thing happened to me! Thank you so much for sharing. My appointment to get it removed is on 09/22/22. I hate this birth control. Too many side effects. Bleeding everyday and cramps are the worst. I am super reclusive. These are poeple that I'm usually close to. Don't want to be around them anymore. I am angry for no reason, too moody, I'm like aggressive,aggravated, and suicidal. I sweat like a man. 🤣I can't sleep😴. My poor boyfriend. 😢 I had Nexplanon
Nece89 did your symptons improve by now...I have mine removed 3 weeks ago
@Satbir Gill Yes, sweety, they did drastically. I'm glad you got it removed. I hope you are feeling like yourself again soon! ❤❤❤💖💫✨️✨️✨️✨️
1. Your story was almost EXACTLY like mine and then 2. You mentioned living in MS and that’s where I’m from. I had to subscribe! 🤎
I’ve had my implant in now for nearly a year and I’ve had the same symptoms and I can’t wait for it to get removed, I really related when you was speaking about your mood being really low and little suicidal thoughts, I’m definitely not suicidal far from it, I’m a bubbly person and so that was out of the blue for me completely. I’ve been watching so many videos and none of them speak on this - Thankyou so much and please do update videos if you can, would really help a lot
I can definitely relate. When I looked this birth control up, I didn’t see any videos on these side effects. Which is why I felt compelled to do the video. I’m so glad the video helped you! I hope your symptoms improve when you take them out! I am definitely planning to do an update video but I will tell you that weight loss was slow and so was getting my sleeping schedule back but I felt better emotionally within a couple of days🤗
It’s currently nearly 3 am and my insomnia is keeping me up which sucks, I’ve been so low recently it’s affecting my college studies but your video is definitely an eye opener for a lot of girls and needs to be more out there! I’m definitely gonna recommend your channel! Tryna book an appointment but it is crazy difficult especially with COVID :( can’t wait for the update !!
I’m so sorry! 😔 Yes, my studying definitely suffered too...between the insomnia and the mood swings. But, now that you know what you’re “fighting against”, it can make things easier. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Maybe find someone that can help you take it day by day? And find something that makes you happy that you can do everyday. I’m definitely hoping you get an appointment soon. 🙏🏽
@@haileychanelle my boyfriend has been here and really supportive, he understands completely which I’m fortunate to have 100% but ik it’s not as easy for some so I’m grateful and I’ll update here when I get mine taken it as well- thanks for all your help really means a lot and helped me understand completely that it’s the implant and the hormonal imbalance 🙏🏽💕
Kiera Robinson Brown I’m happy to help! Please do keep us updated!
I’m so happy I am not alone. I have been on this BC for about almost 6 years getting it replaced. I scheduled an appointment to get it removed in two weeks. I got sick of feeling apathetic towards everyone and everything. I can’t feel happy about things I should like I used to. It’s not fair and I miss my old self. There are ways to get around not getting pregnant without BC. Condoms especially, and tracking your cycle onto when you are least fertile.
Thank you ! I’ve been so moody
So I'm getting my implant out in a few days. Ive gained so much wieght. I've lost all interest in what was once a very active relationship. My periods were long and painful. Nausea is frequent. I can't wait to get it out.
Wow I relate so much I’m so mean to my man ! And I cry with no explanation or for the smallest things
I agree with you a 100% with everything you said because I’ve went to this for 3 years and 1month and no one seems to understand me at all and my partner be thinking that I’m doing all that in purpose. So today I took it out and it wasn’t fun taking it out neither because the doctor said that it went on my deep tissue in my arm
4:20 “nah, I’m just gonna lay here and go to sleep” 😂😂
I’m going to try and go tomorrow
The suicidal part makes sense to me. I say it to myself all the time while driving and i know it’s not a normal thought, you can literally see in perfect clear vision, in your mind with eyes open, see yourself crash somehow. (careful if your mental health is already in a motion) I JUST removed the thing from my arm
It’s so real and so weird because in the back of your mind you know those aren’t your normal thoughts! But it’s like taking a hallucinogenic or having an extremely realistic imagination. Really trippy and scary. I’m glad you didn’t give in to those thoughts, I’m glad you got it removed, and I hope you are able to get back to normal.🤗🙏🏽
@@haileychanelle Same to you!! I’m glad we overcame those thoughts, hopefully our mental stays stable and positive 🙏🏾 very real and scary but i’m feeling better already that it’s gone
