I went on Implanon birth control and was on it for over a year, I had it removed due to the constant bleeding, I was assured that the bleeding would stop a week or a month at the most after removal, it has now been about 5 months sins I had it removed and I'm still bleeding just as heavy if not heavier. I've never reacted well to birth control... I bled constantly on the mini pill and had horrific mood swings, became very suicidal, the combined pill made me insane with anxiety and depression, constantly having severe panic attacks and feeling suicidal and also constantly on the verge of puking (have tried many different pills) Also tried the Depo injection and had the same results. They can't take swabs because I'm having intense vaginal pain, haven't been able to have sex for about 9 months and the doctors just can't get the 'duck beak' inside because its too painful and I'm completely closed up... All they can think of is to pump me with even more hormones that are just making matters worse....I'm currently on Utovlan 5mg, Supposed to be on 3 a day but can only handle one because of the horrific mood swings, insomnia and severe nausea, its causing me to be constantly angry, depressed and anxious...My relationship was already rocky to begin with and now my mood swings are tearing it apart and he doesn't understand what its doing to me no matter how much I explain about the hormones...he thinks I'm just a heartless angry b***h... :( They are refusing to do anything more than give me hormones and I can't take it anymore! Even whilst taking this I'm still bleeding..not as heavy but still,...and if I miss it for even one day I'm overflowing with huge blood clots.. its been nearly 2 years now that I've been bleeding...I don't see any other way out other than a hysterectomy and thats not what I want...But I'm so sick of bleeding... Even before the implant my periods were irregular, stupidly painful and incredibly heavy... That once a month was bad enough, but now its every day of my life....Please tell me i'm not alone and there is another solution...I'm only 20 and shouldn't be having to go through this :'(
Im really sorry you feel this way, you are so young. I have had my implanon removed a week and a half ago after it only being in my arm a month I was fed up of the bleeding and depression. But two days after it was out I seemed to stop bleeding then it was back and heavy still bleeding a week later and I too am feeling down about this, this surely should be illegal its doing more harm then good. I need to know if I should stop taking the combined pill(loette) which I was prescribed just before implant removal or if I should keep taking it, Im certain thats not helping stop the bleed because that too has progesterone. So replys would be great. Tho I see no ones replied to the OP.
