Anyone here got pregnant whilst on Implanon?

Hi Everyone, getting a bit worried reading all these posts.

Ive been on the implant for 18 months now and ive never had a problem with it, regular periods although my mood swings can go a bit crazy!!!!

But i've not had a period in the last 6/7 weeks and having so many signs of pregnancy...... swollen breasts, darkening nipples and veins showing, back ache, tiredness, going off food and alot of heartburn. ive convinced myself that im pregnant but 3 pregnancy tests later its still saying negative!!

Ive got a 2 year old son and also suffered a miscarriage so i feel i know my body quite well when it comes to pregnancy. going to book myself into the doctors tomorrow afternoon although got a feeling im going to be told its impossible, like a lot of you have been told. I think its disgusting how some doctors dismiss people with pregnancy symptoms on the implant!

Anyway wish me luck! :/

hi, just woondering if i get some advice please? my implant rusn out in august so on the 19th of july i went to get it take it taken out. my doctor tried for 45 minutes and couldnt remove it, she said it was lodged and had attached to the tissue. she has scheduled for me to go to hospital next week to have it removed by someone with more experience (doctors words, not mine). anyway since having the implant i have regular periods every month for the ast 3 years, its worked amazing for me. but i havent come on my period now and im now a week late. she said it wouldnt of changed its effectiveness but does any one know more...???

my thoughts are maybe she has dislodged it and made it less affective or maybe its scuppered the hormone release so my periods are affected. i dont think a pregnancy test would show this early but if some one could shed some light i would REALLY appreciate it!!!
thankyou

Oh, and if you're worried about being pregnant now, take a test! Ensure you read the packet first, as some may not show up positive until 21 days after your last sex.

Stop panicking everyone! The most effective way to avoid pregnancy is by not having sex! Provided the implant was inserted correctly, and you weren't already pregnant when it was inserted, the risk of pregnancy is very small: of women using implant, less than one woman in 100 will get pregnant in 1 year of use. Having said that, if youre still worried, use condoms too. The bleeding pattern you get is notoriously unpredictable, and a lot of women have no bleeding at all after 9 months of having it in.

hi! ive been on implanon a year august 15 2012 and i havent had a period since day one but starting last month my breast began to leak milk and ive been having pregnancy symtoms since morning sickness all day sleeping alot and eating crazy stuff like i just ate lays cheddar sour cream chips and cookies and cream ice cream...TOGETHER! I took a home test about two weeks ago and it was negative my belly is a bump now and my docs app isnt until aug 15th i need some advice!

Hi, im after some advice, i've had my implant for 2 years now, its due for removal april 2013, over the past few weeks ive felt like im pregnant, (having 4 children before the implant was fitted) ive been feeling sicky, headaches, sore breasts, ive gained a bit of weight, etc... I was wondering if i could be pregnant? Ive read all the posts on here and im even more convinced now... do i buy a test as ive seen that on the implant the tests come back negative or do i just go and see the dr as i dont want to leave it too long? Help any advice would be great ... xx

Hi,

My implant is due out in a couple months time. I?ve always had good periods and regular periods until 3 months ago. I?ve not come on in 3 months and I?m panicking like mad!!!!!.

I was seeing this guy and had sex with him twice only twice and now I?m feeling pregnant stomach big and bloated. Getting headaches which I never ever get, tired all the time, moody, eating loads, I?ve done a test said negative.

Help please? Anyone got pregnant on the implant or anything?

Hi guys,

I like many that have already posted am more paranoid after reading previous posts. I have been getting slight abdominal pain and feel bloated, my belly feels so big and yes I have been wondering is it possible to fal pregnant on the implanon, I have been on it for 2 yrs now why not then why maybe now?? is it all in my head, the more I think about it the more I wonder is it me making my self crazy feeling all these pokes and thinking I'm pregnant???
I have been to the doctors and had a ultrasound done, my kidneys, liver, pancreas and gallbladder all fine, but I still feel like I have a bloated belly, feel like little pokes here and there no morning sickness or head aches or craving but I also never got that when I fell pregnant with my son. Obviously from what I have read I am not the only one that feels like this on the implanon but no one really comes back on here to say if there pregnant or something else. I have a doctors appointment this avo and hopefully can get an answer, I will keep you posted.

Hi, I've had the implant since 19th April 2012, and that was all fine - however about a week and a half ago I had to take a week off work as I was waking up and having terrible migraines, felt seriously nauseous and felt exhausted - since then I've been craving chocolate brownies and sugar, I've gone from 2 tbsp of sugar in my tea to 3 1/2! I've. Ow tarted experiencing painful 'kicks' on my lower right side of my stomach just under my ribs and down to the bikini line, not to mention lower spine and back pain (it's so bad I have to hold it!) I got the implant as at 19 years old it seemed the best choice and because I have an issue with swallowing tablets and pills not to mention my bad memory I felt it was common sense to go for this, but all of these symptoms and the little bulge I'm developing had made me worried as I do not use condoms with my boyfriend. Now because the doctor was adamant you can't get pregnant on the implant - any help? Not quite a subject I'm gonna worry my own mother yeti it's yet? Xx

Hello,
Just a quick message. I'm 21 and have been on the implanon since the beginning of September 2011. I should probably begin at the start of my "problems". im sorry if this info is TMI but im just really worried. the last proper period i had was in march which lasted about a week, which is normal for me. about three weeks ago, i started craving milk, which is unheard of, because i hate hate hate milk, but i just had to have it. i skipped over april without having a period and around a week ago, i had a really light period that lasted only 3 days, it was basically only brown discharge and a little blood. i thought i was fine then, as i got my period, but now im beginning to have a "heavy" feelin gin my lower abdomin and an annoying pain in my right side. this only happens at night. but htis morning im feeling nauseas. my boobs do feel a bit heavier and im having mood swings. i cant stop eating and even after a big meal, im starving again after an hour. i havnt taken a PT as im just too afraid of the answer. i dont know whether i would be glad to be pregnant or not. im in a stable relationship but i dont think i could handle it. thanks. any help would be great.

Hi, I've have just bin reading some of your post's and I'm starting to get a bit worried ! I have bin felling sick nearly every day 4 about 2 weeks now and I'm starting panic. I'm on my second implnon an never had any problems no weight gain,periods nothing but I have the feeling I'm pregnant !! My boobs r sore I'm getting really moody and I could cry at anything ? I cant bring myself to do a test. I'm 25 and in a good relationship but still don't think it's the right time to have kids. Looking at what some of you have put you all seem to have had periods b4 falling pregnant were as I haven't. Do you think this has anything to do with this(stopped working) I think I'm going to give it a few more days and if I still feel the same I'm gonna just have to bit the bullet and do a test :/ so wish me look x

hi i have just read quite a few of these comments, i am not worried just very paranoid that i could be pregnant as i feel sick for no reason (not ill sick) and keep feeling movement in my big belly, even if i had a bump i couldn't tell, i do regular tests just to keep check, i never come on regular so that's no help, all my tests have been neg but im waiting for that day it fails this is my 2nd implanon and i didnt have this with the 1st one, i will let you know what the next test says.

I have been experiencing all the same symptoms as all the above. I have two kids, so I feel positive that I am pregnant....however have also only had negative HPT results. Recently went to the doctor and told them all of my symptoms, they also did a test...NEGATIVE. I have done a ton of reading and research. I am very unhappy with this contraceptive and am getting it out today. I will also be getting an ultrasound done next week, I will keep you all posted to see if I actually am pregnant.
Oh and thanks for all the posts, this really helps not to feel alone.

Reading this has got me really worried?! I've had my implant for ages and never had a problem, i was in a 3 year relationship, when we split i kept the implant and have since slept with 2 people..(i was very drunk both times) does alcohol compromise the implant and make it stop working? Ive been feeling really weird since, butterfly feeling in my abdomen, feeling sick, CONSTANTLY tired. Do i need to have the implant removed to do a test?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated as im only 20 and im freaking out!!!

hey guys; im 16 and have had periods since i was 12 which were quite painful, so painful i was administered into hospital and given morphine (which im allergic to that we found out) so they put me on the pill to regulate periods which worked for three months taking them correctly and such then all of a sudden i was bleeding through the whole month and was getting extrapainful periods, went to doctors after three months of waiting for it to settle. then was put on the Depo injection (every three months)and continuously bled for 4 needles and by now regular hospital appointments. i went off all contraception (no sex) i now permanently have iron deficiency disorder. so as a last resort they put me on the Implanon which i have been on for three months now and still continuously bleeding

have been checked for all sorts of stuff all came back negative
has anyone else seen or heard of these symtoms,
please help its ruining my life. i feel embarrassed to go anywhere im self concious and have started seeing someone recently but am not able to have sex due to continuous bleeding. :(
