Implant Warning Birth Control

A lady named Kelly King has taken to Facebook to warn others of her experience with the Implant Nexplanon.

” *Warning graphic*

For those of you interested in the birth control bar that goes in your arm nexplanon. DO NOT GET IT!!

Not only has it made me literally crazy! They can’t even find it to get it out of my arm!

I sat in a chair while 3 doctors/nurses dug in my arm searching for it for over an hour. After an X-ray and more digging to come up empty-handed still, I am now left with it still in my arm, stitches, swollen and a bruised arm along with another appointment to have it surgically removed!

The side effects of this birth control include depression and mood swings and let me tell you what I thought I’ve been going insane this whole time! DO NOT GET THIS BIRTH CONTROL!”.

There have been similiar stories regarding the implant  but equally many success stories, if you already have it don’t panic, if you are at all concerned please contact your GP.

  • I’ve had mine in for 10years, had to get an x-ray to find my last one but that’s only because I grow muscles over the implant, no weight gain but then everyone is different

  • Im on my 4th implant, and its the best thing ever.
    I hardly ever have a period, only a dull headache at that time of the month. My weight is stable, yes i can be abit low in mood but even without it i did that. I couldnt prase it more. But my sister had weight and mood issues. As with all hormone therapy it works differently for every person, its just about finding the right cover for you.

    Why can’t they make pills and inplants for men.
    Makes more sense to unload the gun then to shoot a bullet proof vest.
