I have a nexplanon on implant. When I first got this put in the hope was to be able to regulate me because after coming to college I completely stopped taking my birth control. Up to that point I had be on birth control since I was in 8th grade. With this new implant everything was good til I ended up bleeding for months straight. Online research i couldn’t tell if this was normal and I didn’t want to necessarily talk to my mom since we are not close. Now with my implant it is working fine but with my boyfriend and I, I get very anxious about being pregnant. I know my implant works but I’m still always scared that it’s going to fail and I will be the 1 in 100. My boyfriend gets frustrated with me because of this because I work myself up so much til I get sick at the idea. I want kids one day but I know in college is not the time for me. I struggle everyday with battling my own mental state with keeping myself calm and collected regarding this topic.
I feel now I’m starting to come to terms with it and calm down I just wish I could tell myself sooner that it is okay. And if you do become pregnant there are options for you to handle the situation.
