Pregnancy on Nexplanon birth control

Has anyone has a good experience on nexplanon because mine has been not normal and I’m debating on if i should change bc

October 2023 i got the nexplanon birth control put in a few weeks later i got an infection from it my arm swelled up and was so red i went to the doctor and got some antibiotics they said that this isn’t very common but said it wouldn’t affect the birth control working

I gained a lot of weight from it but not horrible side effects i still had a period every month like normal

March 6 2024 i got a positive pregnancy test i was confused and didn’t believe it 16 tests later i called the doctor she was confused and said in 25 years she hasn’t seen this happen before my progesterone ( a pregnancy hormone that’s vital for a healthy baby) was low from the get go i was on pills to hope it went up but it didn’t

April 10 i found out my baby was dead…i lost the baby it broke me i didn’t know what to do i blamed myself i cried for a week straight (i still cry about it everyday) it’s gotten a little better with time easier to talk about

i don’t love being on bc and feel like i should get off of it but i know if i did i would want to be pregnant so badly i already do but me and my boyfriend aren’t in the best financial situation right now and im still in school so idk what to do i hate the weight i have gained

I had the nexplanon for 2 cycles (6 years) it was absolutely horrible. I got mine out, did the pill for awhile then switched to another pill to get my period every few months, I then decided I didn’t want to be on anything because of all the side effects and I feel a lot better! My periods have been a lot better too!
