Hello GeoWai
Common side effects of contraceptive implant are listed below -
Possible side effects include problems from the insertion procedure, including:
- Pain
- Bruising or swelling
- Redness
- Infection
- Scarring
Also, the health care provider may not insert the device in the proper spot. For example, it may be placed too deeply under the skin. This can lead to numbness and difficulty later on in removing the implant. The newer insertion device used with Nexplanon lowers this risk.
Other possible side effects include:
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Depression and other mood changes
- Weight gain
- Abdominal pain or nausea
- Acne
- Breast pain, back pain, or headache
- Vaginitis
- Dizziness
If you have any of these symptoms, please visit your healthcare provider. He/She will do the needful for you - and NO, you cannot remove it yourself. Talk to your parents, explain side effects that you are feeling right now and they can take you to a healthcare provider. Good luck
