Nexplanon Removal

Hey everyone, I’ve decided to remove my Nexplanon and I’ll be going tomorrow 02/24/26.

I want to explain my side affects now and update weekly.

Side Note: I’ve had one baby on March 6, 2024. I was 24

years old. I never tried birth control beforehand.

Acne- my acne has been a problem since I put it in, even with proper face care routines I still break out so much.

Weight- this part varies. In high school I was 225 at the highest. Around 21 years old I weighed 154 (no workouts). Then i got pregnant and during pregnancy I went back up to about 230lbs. Right after I had my baby I got the Nexplanon put in and my weight NEVER dropped. So I’m currently at 220-225

Hair- My hair loss has been pretty crazy lately, every time I shower hair its coming out in large amounts.

Sex Drive- No sex drive whatsoever

Energy- Hard to say considering I was always a homebody. I do find myself unreasonably exhausted sometimes in the middle of the day.

Mood- I’m moody and have a lot of anxiety about everything but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a mom or the Nexplanon.

I genuinely don’t know if Nexplanon is causing the weight gain and I’ve tried to do the research, but I’m hoping that’s the reason I haven’t dropped at all. I’d love to know if yall lost weight when taking it out. The acne did get bad after putting it in so I know that will get better. It’s crazy to think that it can damage you more than help you.
