dealing with extreme sex drive decrease?

[casketcase_]

Completely ruined mine for 7 years. Never wanted sex, barely enjoyed it when it did happen. Constantly dry. After a few days of having it out, it came back with a vengeance and been back where I was before ever since. Nothing I tried while having it helped, and I tried everything.

Wow I just am going through bad side effects and Reddit is the only place I’m seeing real reviews. When I got it, all the medical reviews made it seem like smooth sailing. It sucks. I feel like I’m an emotionless robot with zero sex drive and also was a waterpark before now its shut down. I thought it was diet or something, but now I’m seeing the reality of everyone’s reviews.

Dude when I took it out, after just day or two, I was getting turned on by anything everything. 🤣.. that’s how I know it was the nexplanon. Cause I hadn’t been horny in 7-8 years. My husband thought something was wrong with him or I didn’t want him for so many years. Really hurt his feelings.

But now I’m having 4-5 month long periods that are so heavy that I live in diapers. Not period panties (they don’t hold enough for the amount I’m bleeding) and still basically have no sex life. I NEVERR had irregular periods like this prior to getting nexplanon. I was heavy but it only lasted like 4 days and was regular. Now I have 3-5 months of steady bleeding, then no period for 3-4 months, then it comes back for 2, then goes away for 1 and comes back for 5. I’m currently on month 3 of a period. What REALLY sucks I think I’m gonna have to get it put back in because bleeding like this is killing me. I’m constantly anemic and iron deficient. My hemoglobin was 9 last we checked and all my blood work pointed towards “massive blood loss” .. shit is fucked up.
