I’m on month 4 of my nexplanon and I’ve bled for nearly all 4 months. It’s evened out over the last couple of weeks, I’ll have a week without a period and then it’ll come back, or I’ll have sex and it’ll like quick start my period. The bleeding has really started to irritate me, but the fact that I’ve had a week or so off every now and then of bleeding is making me hopeful. My gyno prescribed me BC pills to help even out my period but I haven’t started taking them yet.

My nexplanon has also made me severely depressed. I struggled with my mental health prior to nexplanon, but I’ve never been THIS depressed. Sometimes I feel really helpless and hopeless and like my whole life is gray and I get stuck feeling like this. I’m wondering if I should wait and stick it out and maybe my mood will even out? Idrk. I’m looking for some advice abt this

i don’t know what to do. i dont feel right on nexplanon, it feels like something is wrong, i feel crazy all the time, i feel like i cant control my emotions. im so mean to everyone around me, i think horrible thoughts about people i love and i cant stop fucking crying all the time. it feels like even though no one has done anything to upset me or hurt me, im always hurt and im always sad and i cant control the way i feel. it’s actually become unbearable. i would say that ive always been kinda moody, but NOTHING like this. i will literally have a good time or a good day and then end up sobbing within the next couple minutes, and i’ll end up feeling really sad and depressed and hopeless. like i just dont feel right at all.

im only on month 2 and a half, and i know typically the body regulates itself within 3-6 months, so i was wondering if anyone has felt this way, and if you got it removed because the moodiness didnt go away, or still have it bc the moodiness leveled out

idk how to manage this, everyday i try so hard to not be a raging bitch to my bf and i feel like eventually it’s gonna not only my ruin that relationship but also my friendships. so pls if anyone has any advice on how to manage my mood on nexplanon it would be GREATLY appreciated
