Appetite Increase After Getting Nexplanon As Birth Control

cpalumbo89

Anyone else notice a huge increase in appetite after using birth control? I went from 1200 calories comfortably to 1500 and almost always voracious. I understand now why woman gain weight after using them. Does it eventually subside? I've had it in for about 3 weeks now.

It does get better, but I won't lie you got to watch yourself! The instinct of when to stop eating can get a little blurry, my advice is eat sloooowly, take time between bites so your tummy can catch up with appetite / brain! Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah I've also tried to increase my water intake, I drink about 93 ounces currently I may try a gallon.

You can also play with substituting foods lower in calorie and higher in volume or changing your macros up.
