Problems with implanon implant?

i have had my second one in now for about 2 years. the first was fine. i had the second one put in at a family planning clinic. i didnt realise it but the guy who took out the old one and reinserted the new one had not done it before. he calved loads of flesh out of my arm. obviously i could feel the first one just under the skin but this one has grown out so much i can see it! im having some bad side effects from this one such as periods every other week that last for 3 weeks and now i have no sex drive what so ever. anyone had similar problems? any genuine suggestion will be much appreciated. thanks.

Problems with implanon implant?
I had the implant for 3 years and out of that three years i had approx 5months without a period. It was constant!





I had NO sex drive - which still hasn't returned and used to be healthy





I also got really depressed





I could also see mine through the skin %26amp; had to get stitches when it was removed.





I would tell everyone to stay away from it! I don't know if it was done wrong or what but that was no way to live.





I say get it out straight away and get the jag!
Reply:i had the implant in for about a year and i bleed constantly like all day everyday for a year... was a night mare so i had it removed..
Reply:Hi I havent had the implant and I dont think I ever would as I ahve had the same side effects wtih 2 different types of pills and as far as im concerned I will with any other, as there all basically the same and can all cause certain side effects. I have heard that the injection the pop and the implant all carry the same side effects heavy bleeding or no bleeding at all, low sex drive, mood swings. etc





I have bad migraines so I have never really be offerd to try these put I dont think I would as I was on a pill called femodette which is the lowet from of oestrogen and progestron and all I did was get depressed no sex drive and put on loads of weight. although I didnt get any acne etc.





So I went back and they put me on cerazette witch contaions no oestrogen, but on of the side effects is to put on weight which is what I did, I had no period which was a bounus but was consatanly sore down below, and mood swings constanly, put on weight and had the worse acne in my life and hair loss.





I went to the Family Planning and the nurse said it doesnt cause any of them but I know it does, and she said she is going to see how I go for 2 months off the pill and already I have had a period within 4 days and I feel great and sex drive back to normal.





So I dont think I would benefit off having the implant. So I am now using condoms, I know they are not 100% secure but its better than putting myself and other thorught hell. I was 8 and a half stone when started taking cerazette as I had lost weight from the being off the other pill and now I am 11 stone so its not good for my health and I was depressed on this pill as it was so it doesnt help looking like a beach whale either as I am only 5ft1.





I suggest to stop taking it and go onto the pill if you can and if you have other side effect with the pill come off it all together. As it took me 2 years on cerazette to get all the side effects that were assoiacted with it.
