Iam 26 years old and have been on Nexplanon birth control since the birth of my first child 8 years ago. I just got it removed on April 6th 2026 due to the side effects becoming too much for me. Side effects like mood swings, weight gain, and late periods, but it’s never been more than a month late and a month late only happened ONCE (this is important). My last cycle ended on Feb 26,2026 (39 days between end of cycle and nexplanon removal). I was already worried about the possibility of being pregnant so I took 4 tests in between and then. 3 came back negative and one came back VERY FAINT. My gyno tested me as well during my removal appointment and that also came back negative. We are now on day 63 and still no period. I've even gotten an ultrasound and didn't see anything alarming (to be fair the lady only scanned one side of my belly lol). I've had an increase of mood swings, cravings, and weight gain with the absence of my birth control. Has this happened to anyone else before? Did you end up pregnant? If not what was the cause? Sincerely a girl who loves wine and is trying not to get her potential baby drunk lol.
