I have never had thyroid issues, no one in my family has thyroid issies. Now I have hypothyroidism and I've been on the nexplanon for 29 months. There is a petition on change.org urging Nexplanon makers to research further into this possible connection. I have also had symptoms that many other women do not have with the nexplanon but some do. Such as irregular bleeding, general fatigue, fast heartbeat, low blood pressure
