Okay so I know weight gain and hunger is a side effect of Nexplanon. But I am always hungry. Literally. Like I could be eating something and it's like I'm not even eating because I'm still hungry. Even after a full meal. Could it be something else or is that normal while taking Nexplanon. Opinions please?
Always hungry while on Nexplanon?

Hi ! I just started googling this same question and I'm glad I'm not alone . I have had the nexplanon since 2015 . I have noticed I am hungry all the time ! My friends and family get annoyed with me because I literally say "I'm hungry" Evety 5 minutes. I spend all my money on food which is irresponsible! I rather buy food than shoes or clothes lol sounds crazy ? And although I've only gained 4 pounds, my stomach is huge ! My food just sits right there in my stomach and and I look pregnant

Glad to know I'm not alone either !!! I've gained so much from it.. I used to be 125-130 but ever since I got on it I'm now at 170ish. I got off of it before for this reason but got back on because my periods so bad and this is the only thing that seems to help. But I'm always so hungry !! I don't know what to do.
