I got my Nexplanon inserted on December 16th 2021. So far it has been pretty okay.

My first period after insertion was a few days longer and I also have had light spotting on and off since it but for the most part this hasn’t bothered me too much. I was told it could possibly go away anyhow.

But all of a sudden for the past 24hrs I have had the WORST sense of anxiety with no real idea where it is coming from. Like last night around 8pm I felt like I wanted to cry and I basically haven’t stopped since. It feels like the world is ending and everything is pointless. I might’ve even had a very brief suicidal thought. And now that I’m thinking back I did have two other instances of anxiety that we’re kinda bad but definitely not THIS bad since getting it inserted.

The thing is I’ve had bad anxiety before and depression so idk if I’m just going through a rough patch or if it’s related to my insert. I will say that this feels a little odd in that it’s SO bad and things in my life are not horrible. Like usually my depression and anxiety have reasons but this just feels like it came out of left field.

The only other thing it could maybe be is that I just had a really lovely weekend with my boyfriend and friends and now I have to go back to the reality of my high pressure job. Maybe it’s just the come down from that?

Idk I kinda want to ask my doctor about removal but I can’t tell if these feels are even related to the Nexplanon. They feel like they might be but I don’t want to remove it and then go through the cost and process of finding another method of birth control if I don’t have to.

Anyone have any advice?
