Ive had Kyleena for 6months and for the past month I have had major hair loss. Its not listed, but I believe it is common because I have two other friends that are having similar issues. (One is Mirena)

It is listed as a less common side effect here: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/nexplanon-side-effects.html . However the FDA document does not list it but urges you to see your pcp if there are any side effects you are concerned with: https://www.drugs.com/pro/nexplanon.html#S6

I'm not sure where the list came from as two of the side effects seem pretty male oriented "difficulty getting or maintaining an erection" and "difficulty with ejaculation" (okay, I laughed... a lot) all of the rest seem to be directed at women. I would have it removed.
