Anyone here got pregnant whilst on Implanon?

That's crazy I have been on it for two years now, & just now missing my cycle for a month. I really dont think it is a side effect, cause im sure side effects come or more likely to show up as soon as you get it and fade away. While on this BC I have always had a cycle each month and some have lasted longer than others. Currently not had a cycle in a month so I'm flipping out and exspecially after reading all of this stuff online has got me wondering.

I've been on implanon for 2 years now during this time frame i have missed my period once. My periods never came on the same day of each month but hey they came. I'm currently now not had a cycle in a month....y? Could I really be pregnant..??

Hi all, came here by accident looking for info about ovarian tests, saw the implanon thread and thought Id join in. I've had implanon and it's predecessors since 1997 after I fell pregnant due to a split condomn and decided on a termination as I was 19 at the time. My own experience with these implants has been great. I have never had any problems, no mood swings, periods have been as regualr as clockwork. However this is my personal experience. I would advise any woman to try implanon for themselves, but we are individuals and no one contraception is going to work for every woman. Remember the only fullproof contraception is abstinence!!
I would advise any woman who is worried or having problems with their implant to go and see the GP/Nurse who put it in. Failing that you could try your local family planning clinic for advice. I now live in London but still return to Yorkshire to have my implant changed as the Consultant is brilliant. But the most important thing for you to remember is that whilst doctors and health professionals are trained adn are experts in lots of things - YOU know YOUR body and if you're not happy with it, or the advice they give you, go back, or go somewhere else until you get the answers you need. Take care x.

Hi! I just got my implanon 1/04/2012. so, i've only had it for a little over a week. my period was due any dayy! it had been 29 days since the first day of my LMP the day i got the implant. i still haven't started! it's been 38 days now. is this normal? i would think that i would have my period since i was technically a day late. what do you ladies think? i need your help!

I WENT ON THIS BIRTH CONTROL WHEN I WAS 15 AND AT 17 I DELIVERED A HAPPY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY THAT I CONCEIVED RUFFLY IN DECEMBER 4 MONTHS BEFORE I TURNED 17. I DID NOT FIND OUT I WAS PREGNANT UNTIL AUGUST 7TH AND I HAD MY SON OCTOBER 7TH! THE ONLY REASON I EVEN FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WAS BECAUSE I SAW MY SONS FOOT KICK FROM MY STOMACH! THIS BIRTH CONTROL SCREWS WITH YOUR SYSTEM AND IF YOU FEEL YOU MAY BE PREGNANT STAY ON TOP OF TAKING TEST! SO IF YOU DO GET PREGNANT WHILE ON IT YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU GET TO YOUR LAST TRIMESTER! I AM ALMOST 21 NOW AND MY SON IS STILL HAPPY AND HEALTHY AS CAN BE ! BUT I STILL WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE KNOWN SOONER SO I COULD OF MADE SURE THAT HE WAS OK AND NOT DONE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I DID WHILE I WAS PREGNANT WITHOUT KNOWING IT. GOOD LUCK TO EVERY ONE WHILE ON THIS IT WAS THE WORST BIRTH CONTROL I HAVE EVER USED. THE BREAST PAIN THE LEAKAGE THE CRAMPS THE MISSED UP PERIOD THE MOOD SWINGS ALL MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE PREGNANT THEN WHEN YOU SAY OK ITS JUST THE BIRTH CONTROL SURPRISE IT ISN'T ALWAYS THE CASE.

I'm new to this, I'm 28 and been on the implant for over 2 years I'm due to have it out nov 12. However I have been told it may have already run out as I am overweight, the doctors just don't seem to know I have also had terrible cramps and passed lots of clots about 5 weeks ago on my last period. I was having periods about every four months which was fine with my body up until the last one.

Problem is I'm struggling to have this thing out or changed everywhere has a waiting list I'm worried I may even already be pregnant as I have several symptoms. Has anyone had an implant run out after two years??

Hey guys.. Ive had implanon in since May 2010.
At the start my periods were all over the place but after about a year I got them regularly. For the last month however I have had it THREE times :(

Do you think I could be pregnant?

It's not impossible to get pregnant on Implanon, it happened to someone I know four years ago.
The makers of Implanon know this and were sued.
The BNF know this too.

its quater to ten at night right now and im sat eating a fish cake! weird how much i just want to eat, even fish cakes at this time :(.

i hate how im feeling, its not right.. and if this is what the implanon does to you then i want rid!
ive had it for over a year now, and i felt nothing like this until this past month.
i did a test with my then boyfriend four months ago and had one possitive then one negative. the clinic i went to did a neg, and she said she expected that since id be over 4 months gone, which has worried me even more and just told me to go to my GP.. my stomach hardens more at night, and i feel weird feelings.
on the other hand, my mum was 8 months gone with me before she found out, tests showed negative, no movements.
so im worried!

Hi All, I have spent 6 hours reading the posts!!! LOL well..
MY Story so far:

I had implanon (nexplanon)since around March 2011.. so for 8months or so... Two weeks ago, I start experiencing majority of the symptoms everyone on this forum have been saying..

Feeling Sick, gaging, Feeling Stuffed all the time, stomach cramp, hardening of lower abdomen, expanding of the lower abdomen, sleepy, moody, anxiety, stomach getting bigger (My body size never changes regardless how much I eat, but i know from my first born, the only weight i put was my stomach...so now, its starting to show around my lower abdomen again)

NEED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS - (additional symptoms
SEVERE ITCHYNESS throughout my body. (anyone experiencing ichyness? I remembered I did with my 1st one) FLARING OF THE SKIN.

Throughout my 8months on implanon (getting a signed card from the doc whom inserted this) have never experiences bleeding, until THAT two weeks ago that's when all the symptoms started.

Went to the Dr, just like most of your Dr's say (Its very safe, if you done a HPT and is Neg, then it is NEG, have another preg test in a couple of weeks time and see again) DR are Useless, most of them PLAY by the Books!

Im worried that having implanon does complicate pregnancies i.e. in the previous treads, Ecotopic preg. (If I am Preg) i dont want to have an Ecopt Preg... Its not RIGHT!
(Did a HPT - Neg)

Def going bk to DR and demand a Ultrasound Scan - the best bet!

Since having my first child back in June of this year, I've been on the implanon for five months. A bled very little at first and then got no period whatsoever. In the past month, I've been feeling nauseous in the morning, I've been very moody, and I occasionally get a sharp lightening bolt of pain from my lower abdomen that curves around my side.

This worries me because that can be a sign of an Ectopic pregnancy which the implanon can cause. I after five months of no bleeding, I recently started spotting. I took a few home pregnancy tests and all came back negative. Making an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor. Will keep you updated.

I also think the Implanon messes with you mentally, I've never been so moody in my life, even while pregnant.

hi robynxx yes i went the clinic yesterday and i said id be about 4-5 months gone by now and she said the test would say negative anyways because of how far gone id be and my hormones would change. but she just didnt seem bothered about how i felt.
she did tell me to go my GP though if im still feeling the same, why dont you go see a doctor? i wouldnt go to a clinic personally, they dont help much! im left more confused as i was before. ive put weight on, bcs i now have 2 stretchmarks at the bottom of my stomach:/. if im not then im seriously messed up in the head! xxx

hiyaa charlotteMary dunno ur name lol haha am 17 as well and am kinda in the same boat as u i am scared to talk to my mum n dad about it aswell i done a pergnancey test but mine was negitive but i have started getting movement mm weird have u been to the clinic or to ur doctor about it?????????????

Hello All! I am new to this site, but not at all new to Implanon. I first had Implanon inserted in Jan 2008, and then again in Jan 2011. I consider myself far from an expert, but I do have a GREAT OB/GYN, and wanted to share some info that she has given me a long the way. When I first had the implant I got me period for 31 days...I was freaking out, calling the doc every other day. She explained to me that Implanon is a 3-step bc, which is what makes it so effective. 1-It increases the wall of the cervix, making it hard for spern to pass. 2-It stops the release of eggs, so if the little monsters do make it past, there should be no egg to fertilize. 3-It depletes the uterine lining (which is the reason for long and irregular/infrequent periods) so if the sperm makes it through, then finds an egg, it will have no wall to attach to. Anyway, after my 31 day long af, I did not have a period for another 2yrs 8 mo. It wasn't until I was almost due to have my rod removed that I started getting af again b/c by that time the hormones have worn off. Since I got my new rod, I have had very little spotting, and when I do, my DR just says it is my body getting rid of the lining, on no particular schedule. In addition - I have had no additional weight gain, however I am more emotional, especially around the time I would get af. My sex drive is better than ever, so I know the rod is working! :) I have recommended TONS of people for Implanon. Please feel free to ask any questions... I am an open book! Best wishes to all...

I've been on implanon for about 8 months now, not had a period since the week it was inserted, and for the last 3 months I've been feeling super tired, nauseous,slight weight gain and craving odd foods. The last few days i've been feeling flutterings in my abdomen- mainly when I'm in the bath or laying in bed. I've done 2 HPT's, both were negative....doctor refuses to send me for an ultrasound. I've worked out I'd be about 14 weeks. Would that even still show on a hpt- any advice?

Heyy, just raising a question, as I had the implant put in on the 23/12/10 so almost a year now I have a number of cysts on my ovary and my doctor told me that it was completely impossible to fall pregnant on the implant though at this present time while writing this I am getting a spotty period and since I got this thing in I have had it like every 2 weeks and some weeks heavy others a Mix never light or spotty like now, my stomache is cramping my boobs feel and look bigger to me, and I am getting weird pushy feeling in my stomache even in my ribs but it was worse when my kitten was laying on my tummy I havent taken a test and my doctor refuses to test me for pregnancy coz it's 1/1000 to get pregnant on it, what should I do???

Hi Ladies!!
So, I had the implant (implanon) inserted 7th Jan 2010. I found out I was pregnant in Sep 2009 and then my granda became very ill very fast and died of cancer in several places early Oct. He was the only person I told. I then had a M/C mid/late december - hence the reason for the implant.
When the implant was inserted i had no bleeding till mid Jan this year and then had three in the space of around 7 months. Sunday i started having lower abdo pains and stomach pains and was sick. These pains have carried on, easing ever so slightly but I have been sick three times today and still feel like I am going to be. And this feeling has been there since Sunday too. I have read a majority of these posts and I too have taken a HPT where it turned out to be negative. I have had headaches for about a week and felt dizzy and disorientated too.
I am getting the implant taken out in 6 days and should I still feel the way I am then I am going to tell them all about it and see what their advice is.
My friend is 19 weeks pregnant and said that I couldn't be as she wasn't being sick until she was about 10 weeks which is when a majority of you ladies started really worrying about all this. Who do I believe or do I try and keep it at the back of my mind until I go to the Family Planning Clinic to get it removed?
Any help is greatly appreciated as this is something that I would love to happen but by god I don't think I (sorry we) would be ready for something like this.
