getting a nexplanon soon!

hiiiii! after trying different birth control pills the last few years, my doctor recommended nexplanon. my biggest issue with my birth control has been weight gain. on the pill, i’ve gained 20 pounds and no matter how hard i diet or exercise, it won’t go away. when i’ve taken breaks from the pill, the weight IMMEDIATELY drops away.

my question is did anyone who gained weight on the pill gain more after starting nexplanon? i’m so frustrated with the weight that im considering peptides at this point. i just want to not have a baby and also not gain weight, is that too much to ask??

i also have really irregular periods when im not on the pill (40 day cycles). if anyone had a similar experience, how did the implant change that/what was the bleeding like for you?

thank you so much!!!!
