Has anyone experienced this with nexplanon?

I got the nexplanon implant in April over the past few months I’ve just had no sex drive at all..to the point it’s caused some issues in my relationship. Cpuld tbjs be down to the implant? I’m thinking of booking an appointment with the nurse at my gp and having it removed. There’s no point in having it if I’m not having sex and don’t want to have sex right?

Yes definitely, same thing happened to me! I got it removed x

I’ve never had the implant (I’ve had the depo injection and multiple pills over the years) but yeah it’s really common that contraception kills your sex drive! They stop you ovulating and releasing the hormones that make you want sex in the first place. I came off the injection because of this. Like you said it’s pointless being on contraception if you don’t want sex anyway!

Yes! I'll never get it again. I hadn't realised just how much it had affected me until I got it taken out to try for our baby. I was miserable on it, had zero sex drive and my husband thought it was his fault. Got it taken out and I was a totally different person. Even my husband doesn't want me to go back on it. He knows its not his choice but he doesn't want me to have to feel like that again. Since having our baby I refuse to go back on any kind of hormonal contraceptive x
