So I got my Nexplannon IUD in my left arm last year January of 2019. I have had it for about a year now and I don’t know that I can take it anymore. I am emotional all the time, I am hungrier than before I was on birth control, i have gained about 30-40 pounds in the last year. I cry about EVERYTHING, and the worst part is the spotting. I am bleeding constantly. I have had to wear a pantry liner on the days that I am not on my period just so I don’t get any blood spotting on my underwear. It is so ridiculous and I am so tired of constantly bleeding all the time, it is a light bleeding, but nonetheless I miss when I could wear just underwear.

Did anyone else experience symptoms like this on nexplannon iud? If so, please explain what you did to solve the problem and how well it worked.

I’d prefer to stay on birth control for another couple of years since I don’t need children right now, but I also don’t know that I can take much longer of bleeding constantly, being super hungry, and always feeling emotional.

Please send helpful suggestions if you have any!
