Birth Control HELL

So back in February I got a new form of birth control called Nexplanon.  The insertion was so weird, I was numb but I could feel the giant needle being inserted into my arm and the next few weeks my arm was in crazy pain, and had a HUGE bruise on it around the insertion site.  Over the next month and a half my hormones were going insane, I felt really depressed (for example my last post), and my temper was out of control.  I have been contemplating having my birth control removed but at the same time I don't want to because I am horrible at remembering to take my pill, the patch always used to fall off, the shot made me FAT, and I am scared crazy of having an IUD.  So basically I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.  I want my hormones to go back to normal but I don't want to chance getting pregnant again.  Have any of you had an experience with Nexplanon, or any other birth control that doesn't involve daily pills? If you have please comment below.

Depression, are you real?

Depression, are you real? I have done the research, read the literature and I have come to the conclusion that depression is really real.  Unfortunately I think that I may have depression mixed with baby blues.  I have been the most irritable person over the past two months, always getting into little arguments, getting mad at the littlest things...  But luckily I have found a solution, TAKE THIS STUPID BIRTH CONTROL OUT OF MY ARM!!!  No seriously tho all my problems started the week my nexplanon birth control arm implant got put in.  Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I will be protected for the next 3 years but if these symptoms keep up I might have a nervous breakdown.  I feel so bad for the people that love me most because I can be super irritable.  When I am at work it's completely different, I am totally fine, but once I get home I am a completely different person! So keep tuned for the resolution to my problems because I will be trying some things before I actually make the appointment to get this thing removed! 

Clean Slate

So it's a new year and I am wiping the slate clean and taking another stab at blogging.  New blog new me.  There has been so much change in my life recently that I need a place to keep track of it all.  So please join me on my journey of a mother, business owner, student, wife, and what ever hat I wear that day :)
