Looking for anecdotes re: switch from Nexplanon to Kyleena Zzz

Side effects!?

Hi all. I’m a first-time mom who recently had a baby and is looking for a long-term(ish) birth control method. Since I am breastfeeding, I am looking for a low-dose method with progesterone only. In the past, I have used Nexplanon and I loved it but it caused me to gain 50 pounds in 3 years. I have now lost all those pounds and would prefer to keep it that way. I am scheduled to get Kyleena next week but would like to hear experiences of gaining weight on Nexplanon then switching to Kyleena. How was the Kyleena experience different for you? Thank you for sharing.
