I've decided I'm going to take my nexplanon out!! I had no issues with it but weight gain was a major problem for me 😣😣😣…

The implant

But you won't have a kid in 3 years

@ellamas, the one inserted vaginally ?

I really like my iud. I've have it twice now

I chose the ParaGuard IUD again. Had it for five years before and I had it inserted yesterday again. For me it was the convenience.

The implant is the one in the arm

@ellamas, that's the one I have 😣😣 taking it out because it's made me gain horrible weight @sarahb518 I like it i just don't like that it made me gain weight @garayserenity I wish mine didn't make me gain weight and right now that I'm trying to loose weight seems harder so that's why I'm just like let's take it out

ParaGuard doesn't have any hormones in it so it could be a good option for you. Keep in mind, though, periods could be heavier and "crampier" My periods went away completely but that's not a typical side effect.

I have the mirena iud. It is different than what you have. It has very minimal hormones and I have no side effects from it. I would look into an iud (it is not an implant that goes in your arm). I think it might be a good option for you @babybee
