Hello,

I have gone through history. This is a clear indication of the side effects of Nexplanon.

It has various side effects and some of then are faced by you.

It is strongly advised that you get rid of it at the earliest as the body has started rejection of Nexplanon.

Once removed your symptoms will subside but along with this to subside is like taking a big chance which I will not advise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
