Thanks for any input that comes in.
So my wife was previously on the nuva ring, but had it taken out for personal reasons. She changed to nexolanon (spelling? But the arm implant). Previously on the ring, which she started using after our last child and a short stint on an oral birth control, she was able to keep bodyfat levels around 18%. She is an avid crossfitter and performed well and felt her best around this percentage (she has been lower). After she switched to the implant her physique and bodyfat has consistantly changed while diet and training have not. I dropped her calories by a couple hundred with no change. I got her all the way down to a 500 calorie deficit with no real change. I did this over the course of about 12 weeks. Has anyone had these issues? She still performs well, but she has become increasingly unhappy with her physique. While she still looks good in my book (last measurement hydrostatic has her at 24%), she is unhappy and I can most definitely relate to those feels. I can layy her stats out, diet, and training as well if asked. She eats clean and well though and never had issues until this implant. should she give it more time to stabilize? Should she pull it. Is there anything that can be done to combat it? Her ob doesn't seem bothered by it, but she's simply not happy about it. Again, thanks for any input.
