Personal experience I loved/hated it. Loved that it was quick and easy and no stress as it was very effective. But it made me gain 50+ pounds in a few months (no change to my diet or my exercise was the same) it’s also a higher dose of hormones since it’s not vagina based. Like a IUD. I would check with your doctor if it’s safe while breastfeeding. I believe that was one of the options but i opted not for that one this go around. Also not proven but I now have a dermoid cyst on my ovary that was discovered after It was taken out.
Have you considered mirena? Had use all pills and all of them triggered migraines and weight gain. Check with your dr, but if you already had headaches/migraines Nexplanon are not recommended as they also casi headache and weight gain
I had nexplanon after my first pregnancy. I loved it. After the first one ran out I had gotten a second one. The only con I had was getting the second one removed. I decided to remove it because I was having a hard time losing weight and I also wanted to try for another baby. It was a process getting it removed.
