Implanon

I am 24yo, I am Obese, I have a 2yo and I'm on the Implanon. I had the Implanon put in exactly two years ago to this day and i thought it was wonderful. I read all the facts about it before I made my decision and thought that it would be very effective. I recently got married and have been planning to get it removed to have another child. But my body began to have extremely weird moves.

In May 09 I was approx two weeks late on my period. This didn't alarm me because the facts say that you can and sometimes will be late on your period depending on your excercise habits and eating habits. Then I started to lactate. I know, because I have been pregnant before, that you can't lactate within the first trimester of a pregnancy. So i put it off as maybe some type of stimulation. Well a couple of months have gone by and although I've had my period (which was a very yucky brown color, no red, and VERY light) I have began to experience movements in my tummy. This is where the situation gets a little more complicated. I went to my OBGYN who did a urine test which came back negative, a blood test which also didn't show any signs and a lactating test which didn't show any abnormalities. I had everything checked out (pap smear) and it didn't show anything.

I have thought that maybe my hopes of being pregnant were in my head and that I was experiencing these things because I wanted to be pregnant. Unfortunetly, at the middle of July I began to have very strong pains in my abdomen area, began to be really sick and started having a very strong period along with severe pain. Went to the OBGYN again with just an answer of "It's your hormones".

Now, its September and the same symptoms are starting to occur. Only now I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open at ALL times, I'm having pains again in my abdomen that hurt so badly I cry, I haven't had my period and my mood swings are really out of control. One moment I'm as happy as a tick on a dog and the next I'm either so sad that I can't stop crying or so mad that I want to kill who ever or whatever that is in my path. I've done an at home pregnancy test which is negative. I have read up on EVERYTHING that I can find over the internet about the Implanon with NO ANSWER to one simple question. Can, while on the Implanon, you become pregnant and have symptons and signs physically of pregnancy but get a negative answer on your tests?!?!?!?!?! This is something that I HAVE to know.

I know that the main answers to my question is going to be to go to my doctor and be checked out. But as so many of you know, doctors are expensive. And since I've done this once already I really don't want to go thru all of it again. I feel like a fool. And I really, honestly believe, with all of my heart that I was pregnant the first time and it went undetected. If there is ANYONE that knows ANYTHING about the effects that the Implanon has when it comes to pregnancy tests PLEASE let me know!

Trust me.. its possible..

I have read of many people that got pregnant on Implanon... so I know its possible.. .and I to have been wondering if I am pregnant... so I know its true that you can. and I havent felt like this on the Implanon before and Ive had it for two years as well..

Hi

Hi
I had the Implanon for two years also and have had no problems with it really although i haven't had a period in two years and put on loads of weight!!
Anyway i have also been reading up on it and there is like a reeeeeeeally small chance of getting pregnant on it and yes you can get those symptons on it, remember it tricks your body into thinking you are pregnant so obviously you feel like that when you are pregnant.
So try not to worry cos it does happen and i'm sure you woudn't be the first to think those things but yes, maybe you should go to the Doctors again and get them to explain the Implant to you more ???
Hope this helps ! x
