Anyone here got pregnant whilst on Implanon?

just a word here i fell preg on the pill when i was 19 and i took a HPT and showed up so fast that i was preg, so i had a lot of faith in them, i fell preg a second time on the pill
a year later turns out it wasn't gluten free and my husband at the time left me he didn't want another one so i had an abortion and the ....(insert whatever u like) left me anyway. my now current hubby wanted a baby so i stopped taking the deprovera injections and we tried for a bub took a few months but i fell preg this time with twins but even though i had so much hormone cause of the 2 babies not 1 HPT showed up positive went to the dr and he couldn't believe how quickly his little pee test showed it up
dont always rely on the HPT's
only problem i have is i always wanted 3 pregnancies as i said i have 3 kids 3 beautiful annoying handful boys...wish i had a girl i want my third pregnancy even if its a boy again at least i had my 3 attempts my hubby doesn't think we have room or can afford it i grew up in family of 4 kids and he is mistaken but i just wanna say anyone preg out there ur so lucky and fortunate and even on a pitence u cant afford not to have them in ur arms my implanon is due to run out in 3 months and i'm over all the mock pregnancies i've had through it i want the real deal again and u know where u can stick the mood swings i've been on and off antidepressants through the whole thing...thinking copper iud this time no hormones with it

Hi I guess I'm like everyone else I had my implanon put in on my 5th day of my period in august of 2010. I'm n a commited relationship and we have used condoms 100% up untill november now since then I gain about 25lbs I'm n college n everytime I come home my family swear I'm preggo. I went to the doc for a pap and ask for a test and they said the same thing that I can't be pregnant. And refuse to give me a test so I took a hpt but I was negative.. in the six months I been on I had two period one in october and one now in jan.. also like everyone else I have the baby bump with the crazy (()) stretchmarks around my belly button...I don't know what todo me and boyfriend are in our early 20's we just not ready for a kids even though we both have great jobs and a stable home... idk what to I feel sooo paranoid

Hi I've been reading these posts and tbh its kinda unsettling. I first heard about the implanton from a friend and of course I went along to get it inserted into my left arm. In that time I've lost alot of weight due to work commitments and started to feel the implant in my arm when I was moving my arm.

I was told there wasnt anything wrong with that. Like most of you on here, I too went a bit crazy on it, being paranoid, jumping to conclusions, headaches / migranes, feeling sick, tired all the time, bleeding, moodiness, anxiety, emotional and just felt and feeling depressed but have been trying to get over all of that.

I bled for a solid 6 months - tampax made an absolute fortune out of me lol. It then stopped and then I was like thank god! the last 2-3 days ive felt sick, tired, look run down, bloated tummy and started to bleed, breasts are really sore, nipples are slightly darker, and I dont think I've gained any weight.

In one way id like to be pregnant and in a way not just now. Im 30 in a few months time so its not that big of deal. I only took implanton because im fed up having my periods every month and wanted a break so why not have the best of both worlds and have it done? now Im seriously considering to have it removed because the side effects are bad, the news reports are now saying its not as safe as they had hoped it would be and women are falling pregnant, plus I cant be doing with anymore bleeding.

Im in a long term relationship but dont want to be throwing that little chestnut to my other half at the moment it would just complicate our lives at the moment.

I do feel for the women on the forum and others too if this hasnt worked for them, if I knew then what I know now, I probably wouldnt have gotten it done.

Hi, i'm only 16 and had the implant fitted in July 2009 haven't had a period at all since it was fitted which i suppose has been an advantage. However after all the news stories i read somewhere that the implant should be fitted between your 1st and 5th day of your period and i was not on at all when mine was put in. A few months ago i began having pregnancy symptoms such as tender breasts, feeling sick, headaches and i'm very moody. I have also gained a lot of weight in the last few months although it is not like a bump but i have been dieting since after xmas but the weight doesnt seem to be budging. I did a home pregnancy test in September 2010 which was negative but it still hasn't put my mind to rest.
Has anyone got any advice?
I dunno what to do :( xxx

Hello all, I had the implanon in for 2 years but wanted to try for a baby with my partner of 4 years so had it removed 10th Dec, recently I have had if not all of the pregnancy symptoms. My uterus is bloated which is strange as I have always had a small waist.

Took a hpt twice which both showed negative,
Had a show around n.y.e which was light spotting. sickness started 2 days ago.

Can you help into what action is the best to take now?

My sister has 4 children but with her 2nd she didnt find out she was pregnant until 5months, I don't want to wait that long....

Thanking you in advance. xxxx

I have the implanon implant, been in since Nov 10. A couple of friends had it, and sung its praie. I have not had any peroids which is brillant, I wish i had known about the implant sooner. I was 46 when i had it put in, the doctor said usually they do not put them in older women. I am due to have it removed in Nov 12, and want another, i have had no problems whatever. However my partner nearly fell through the floor when he read the article in [Daily Mirror 6 Jan 11] that 600 women have got pregnant. There is no way i want a baby am too old, and my son is 29. I would be horrified if i got pregnant, is anyone else worried? angry

nearly 600 people HAVE got pg on implanon

Hi, my post is pretty much like the rest, I have had my implanon for 6 months. Had no problems with previous implanons but this one has been inserted incorrectly, it's at a wrong angle and into the muscle rather than under the skin, I have heard that if they are inserted incorrectly it can cause them to not work efficiently. I have been having all the typical pregnancy symptoms, pretty much the same as with my first pregnancy, and my lower belly where my uterus I'd feels harder than normal most of the time but then goes soft again. Can HPTs really be cancelled out by the implanon? Am I at risk of an eptopic pregnancy?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks, steph

hi, i am 19 and on my second implanon, which has been in for about a year. i rarley get periods and never know when they are going to come. i am worried as i seen on the news that hunderds of women on the implant have fell pregnant and i want to know if its possible, and also, mines feels thinner in the middle, like its about to snap, is this possible and is it affecting the way it works?

Oh, I have also been experiencing moderately painful stomach cramps not unlike period pains for the last 5 weeks on and off.

Hi all, looking for some advice please. On 7th Oct I was given a course of antibiotics for a urine infection. Thought nothing of it at the time as I've been on them before and had no problems. I had Implanon fitted in Nov 2008 and have had absolutely NO issues whatsoever. One period with tender breasts, no PMS, no mood swings, nothing. 5 weeks ago my breasts got tender so even having my bra on was sore. Last week I even burst the underwiring of one! Feel so tired, going to the loo a lot (but I have been diagnosed with irritable bladder), have been so short tempered it's unreal, very emotional, a bit of lightheadedness but I thought I was standing up too quickly, heartburn despite taking meds to combat that and a thicker than normal discharge. When I had Implanon fitted my doctor told me it was impossible to fall pregnant on it but I am beginning to get worried. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been on some serious meds although am currently only on painkillers. Reading this forum has scared the beejesus out of me. I already have a child of 10 but I can't really remember what my early symptoms were. Can anyone suggest any other causes for my symptoms other than pregnancy? Do home pregnancy tests really get cancelled out by Implanon? Thanks in advance.

Help. I have had an implanon since june but I have not been feeling my self. I have been feeling sick on a night time, and I have a huge bump, I know the side effect of an implanon is gaining weight but this is much more.

I can't eat the foods I used to the thought makes me feel sick, I have constantly been craving a cheeseburger, I need to go for a wee all the time.
About a month ago I had people asking me if I was pregnant even now people that have met me for the first time are saying awww when are u due and I fell so embraced.
I have had weird pains in my lower stomach and in my lower back and down my leg.
I have done a pregnancy test which has came back negative. I have been to the doctors and they just keep sending me away but me and my partner knows its so much more can anyone help please.

hi, I got the implanon put in about a month ago. I had unprotected sex with my bf before I got it. We also had unprotected sex afterwards(a few days after getting it). I started to feel a little strange like I was coming down with a cold or something. Over the course of the month it has progressively gotten worse. I feel sick everday, I get nauseous all throughout the day(usually in the morning and very late at night). I constantly have back pains, i get dizzy occassionally, I am almost always exhausted, i get headaches a lot now( more like a heavy pressure in my head),I eat like Ive never eaten before, and crave things I usually wouldn't, i have to go to the bathroom alot, and my stomach has a slight bump. I have not gained any weight anywhere else. Feeling like this every single day is really keeping me from functioning normally in my daily life. I missed my period,I have been throwing up and i am worried. Like many i was told pregnancy could not happen whilst on implanon. I took a hpt and it came back neg. But, i dont know if it is right or not.Hlp!

I really hope this helps... though I am now myself worried!
I've been on Implanon for nearly 9 years solid (from 19-28) and suffered from most of the symptoms you all describe.
I initially put on a LOT of weight, lost libido and had very erratic and light periods.
My weight settled down after a couple of years and I lost it all and more... so it IS definitely something you can control!
All the doctors have told me that even when the implant expires (after 3 years) you will still be covered for probably another 2 years... though this is not proven... being the reason they take it out at 3 years. I've let mine run up to 4 months over and been fine.
They also say it CAN take at least 6 months to fall pregnant after having the implant removed.
After having a bleed roughly every 6 months for years, my periods completely stopped for 2 years (no spotting... anything)... until 6 months ago.
I've had a (albeit light) period every month since then like clockwork.
I am now halfway through a cycle and have many of the pregnancy symptoms. Granted it may be psychosomatic as my partner and I want children fairly soon... but I am obviously very worried about falling pregnant whilst on Implanon... aside from MC, I wouldn't feel confident of the health of a child exposed to these hormones.
I am having it removed early purely for this reason.
DON'T take litmus pregnancy tests. See your doctor for a blood test.
There is only so much this forum can help you with.
Best of luck x

Hello, I went on to implanon after two unexpected pregnancies whilst on the pill, the first I miscarried and the Second there were complications and the pregnancy had to be terminated. I have only been on implanon since the end of September and for the last week I have been having the normal pregnancy symptoms of bloating, sickness and nausea, heartburn and sore breasts. I was told that Implanon was the most reliable form of contraception and that it was more or less impossible to get pregnant whilst on it. Is it possible to be too fertile for contraception to work properly? I am absolutely positive that the pill was always taken on time. I will be taking a test tonight :-S

Hi I have an implant but I'm worried because people have started to say I look bigger. Which is true because I used to weigh between 7 and 8 stone but now I weigh 9 stone my dress size has gone up I used to be a size 8 now I can't fit into a size ten trousers I can't eat the food I used to love the thought makes me feel sick I constantly crave burgers. Recently I started feeling sick on night times. I look like I'm about 14 weeks pregnant my stomach is rock hard when I sit down it stays firm. I have done pregnancy test and they have came back negative can anyone help

hi .. ive had the implant in since june 09 .. and had periods up untill a few months ago .. me and my boyfriend have had regular sex and just recently ive had stomach cramps and cravings for things i would never dream of eating feeling really worn out and stressed. today i took a home test which said negetive but i done it in the evening and ive been told that in the first month u should only take a test first thing in the morning because thats when your hormones are at it's strongest and your urine gets weaker as the day goes on .. does anyone know if this is true? because if it is i shall be taking alot more tests and go to the doctors!!

Yes you can get pregnant on the implanon!!! i have had it in for 10 months and JUST found out 2 days ago that im pregnant.. ive taken FIVE First Response Tests and they are all showing Positive.. im still in denial though.. im waiting on my blood test to come back.. i just feel like it is way to unreal to be pregnant while on the Implanon.. definitly feel like this is a dream.. definitly had 100% trust in my birth control.. just hoping i dont have a miscarriage like all these others its happened too :( according to the Health Dept im 5 weeks and 3 days, if i really am..

I had implanon inserted 2 years ago and had it removed today as I am 7 weeks pregnant-this has came as a shock(I'm also breastfeeding)but it is (apparently) very unusual for it to fail. This will be my 6th(gulp)child...
