Long story short I expressed anger at being essentially coerced as a sedated minor into getting the implant one year after the FDA approved it and how I had it in for way too long due to having a tough go of it in my adolescence and the mod fed me false information and tried to gaslight me and then permanently banned me when I clapped back to correct.

When I was a teenager I was in an awful relationship I’d left home and got pregnant the night I lost my virginity lol.

So I made the tough decision to get an abortion I was 17 or 18 but in MA (they allow minors to make decisions about BC and other reproductive health decisions) post procedure I had a provider convince me to get nexplanon…called it the “Cadillac of birth control” other women I’ve talked to recall similar language by their providers who pushed nexplanon onto them. If I had known how serious nexplanon can effect you and the risks I wouldn’t have been down to get it. I was also still feeling the effects of the sedatives I was given for the abortion procedure. I’ve since started to believe this was illegal and if not highly unethical. I got it in 2011/1012 and had no idea I was the experiment. Unfortunately I struggled with drug abuse in my 20s so my implant didn’t come out until 25 and I stupidly let them put one back in (I was newly sober and didn’t want to bring a kid into the world).

I had awful migraines for 6 months after. I’m 30 now and I want it out and I’m scared.

The first implant I had in theory would have been useless pass like year 5 but I was with a partner and we were not using any contraceptives and yet I never had a scare or anything. I’m also so scared I’ll find out it’s made me infertile.

Any day one nexplanon girls.
