So I am on my third Implant (yr. 1/4...yes, now they're good for 4 years!)...First one was great! Absolutely ZERO negative symptoms!!! Loooove it! Maybe a slight change to my mood but I thought it helped lower my irrational temper. Instantly stopped my cycles & maybe (maybe) had 5 periods each year out of the three I kept it for. 3 years later popped that first one out and got another one. The second one, very similar to the first but, I started noticing that I was more tired in general, kind of chucked it up to working two or three jobs at a time but then I started noticing I was getting a yeast infection nearly every month...if I was lucky it would skip a month. I've always been prone to the nasty infections since I was very young (5y/o was my first). I just treated myself with over the counter messy cream until Planned Parenthood introduced me to an amazingly awesome little pill. Aside from the abnormal amount of yeast infections, nothing bad seemed to happen until I decided to try the IUD once my three years was up, I scheduled an appointment and they suggested while the IUD is adjusting to keep the Nexplanon for the first month. I used the IUD for a Month. Couldn't bare the painful cramps (I could hardly walk), I bled for the entire month of it being inserted (using nearly a full box of super sized every day!), sex was just NO. I had the IUD removed (I cried when it was pulled out) and opted to try Round 3 with Nexplanon. As previously, stopped my cycles, such minor symptoms that I didn't notice my lack of sexual moisture, decrease in my drive, or difficulty with arousal. When it was inserted I wasn't sexually active so of course I didn't know but then I started dating and that's when I've felt pain, itchy, burns, basically all the same problems. I've tried everything to at least keep me moist but it never stays wet for long. I love this birth control but my issues are causing issues...He is losing trust in me, questioning my loyalty, as well as it's taking a toll on his ego and really that's not okay for him to feel like he's not pleasing me. I try to enjoy the pain for him but he knows it hurts.
