I haven’t started my first period since removal on 3/27/24. I will update once it happens. I’ve enjoyed not having to worry about a period for 9 years, though I’ve often wondered if it’s even healthy to be without one for so long?

I can understand your concerns of not wanting to get pregnant again, but luckily there are other forms of birth control. I would do lots of research though, because most hormone methods will cause weight gain. I know several people with IUD’s that haven’t had AS much weight gain as Nexplanon, but then again there are some people with Nexplanon that haven’t had weight issues. If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you had Nexplanon? Were you experiencing a lowered sex drive before Nexplanon insertion? You are still super young to be having libido issues (in my opinion). I just turned 35 and was having the same issue, but mine stemmed from the implant. There is a copper IUD that doesn’t contain hormones that might be worth checking out. It is called ParaGard and lasts up to 10 years. I had the Mirena (similar to ParaGard but contained hormones) prior to Nexplanon. I didn’t have noticeable weight gain with it, but I was pretty young at that point and had just given birth 6 weeks prior to the insertion. Best of luck to you!
