Testing the Waterrrrss-blood is thicker

Day 32! I’m back to share my journey thus far on the Nexplanon Implant and let’s just start with the fact that I have CUT MY HAIR OFF! The only thing I’d say that possess me to do that is these hormoooonnneesss!! Now I’m not TOO upset about it as I have only been growing my lovely locs for 37 months before the I cut the back off. I believe I was due for a reset anyhow so, S/O to the hormones for handing me the scissors.

Besides the “big chop” I have been feeling light! It’s been known for the menstrual cycle to come light or a complete halt all in all while on the implant. Well within the first two weeks (13 days) there was no blood shed even after I had missed my regular cycle date. (I received the implant the week my period was due). Day 14 I decided to get my socks knocked off and I put that to blame on the 12 days of light bleeding that occurred.

As you can see in the first photo, the scaring is not as obvious. I often forget I have the implant; VERY often actually. The only other change I noticed is that my appetite has increased. The thing is I’m also on another medicine pertaining to a mental health disposition (I’ll share in a separate post) so I’m not too sure which one is to blame for that appetite increase.

All in all, I feel like a new human being. My kitty (Frost) has been keeping me afloat although in the last picture you can see that we get on each others nerves. My birthday is coming up in a matter of weeks and I’m just hoping that I don’t get a random burst of “spotting”.
