Anyone here got pregnant whilst on Implanon?

Hi there, I'm a mum two 2 little boys who were born 13 months apart. After my second baby, while I was on the 21/28 ( i can't remember the number) day pill, I fell pregnant both times and had to have an abortion both times. Very traumatic! I was also told by my doctor that I have hypothyroid.

Then a doctor told me about implanon and said " theres a 99.9 % chance you won't fall preggers". Sounded good, so I got the implanon inserted in March 2010. My periods have been a little irregular sometimes lasting unto 22 days. Mood et all seemed fine till recently. Went on a long holiday with the family and forgot that I hadn't got my periods. after doing 3 home pregnancy tests, I was convinced I'm not preggers. But my body is giving me a different message. My stomach seems a little bit bigger. My boobs are tender. I'm moody. and yesterday morning after wiping myself with a tissue, it seemed like I was spotting. All 4 times in the past when I have been pregnant, I have known it. My body told me and then the pregnancy test confirmed it.
A lot of posts earlier have different women experiencing different things with/without the implanon.
I don't know if I'm pregnant or not as yet. I feel as though i am.
I'm actually not prepared to go through one more abortion. I'm very terrified.
I have an appointment tomorrow at the docs so hopefully should get some news in 2-3 days.

Hi my names tiffany i just got my implonon removed yesterday i hated it so muchhh..... i got it removed but three days ago which was on saturday i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend since sperm can last up to 3-5 days in a womens system is their a chance that i can get or be pregnant? i havent had my period in a month in a half my last period was on oct 7,2011 i have been runing to the bathroom alot and eating a little bit more then usual please help.....

catty2510, the hormone that is in the implant is only enough for 3 years and no more, so that means it is hugely unlikely that you are still covered by it x

Hi everyone, my implant was due out in august but the nurse keeps either phoning in sick, or changing my appointment, trying to ring me while im at work and when i finish its too late to call her back. basically i was just wondering if im still covered by the implant even tho it was due out 3 months ago.. ive tried google and cant find anything. Any advice would be appreciated x

I had my implant put in in January of this year. First of all my periods stopped completely but over the last few months they've gradually come back and I am now usually constant bleeding. Lately though it has been light bleeding & only now and again. I have also been experiencing dizzy spells over the last few weeks, which can occur if I have or haven't eaten, but usually when I haven't. I have been going to the toilet quite a bit more, but this sometimes happens anyway so I'm not sure what to think about that. I haven't had any sickness, and I haven't had much tiredness either. My breasts have been sensitive and I hate anyone touching them lately. I have also found myself crying over literally nothing and being very happy one minute, and then unbelievably sad or angry. I don't normally get moods like these but that could be anything I suppose. I generally have that 'pregnant feeling' but my mind likes my play tricks on me so I'm confused about what to think!

any advice would be appreciated :)x

Mummytaz90 - If your Implanon has moved you must go to hospital because it is very dangerous, Not to frighten you but iv herd some nasty things happen when the Implanon moves & You might as well be pregnant as the Implanon is inserted to stay in that exact spot they put it in to work.. So make sure you get yourself to see some quick Hun.

Hi girls, Im 21 & a mother of 1, my 3 year old son. Iv been on the Implanon since 2008 its due out in 6 months, First of all the first 2 years if I wasn't bleeding for months I wasn't having periods for months! Complete nightmare.. Then this year (The last) its been no periods just a wipe of the tissue after the loo & a tiny barely seeing pinky colour that happens once every month.. Like for one day only but I have put on loads of weight on this last year. A couple of months ago I got myself in a pickle where i made myself believe I was pregnant again, Looking at forums lots of women have fallen pregnant & its horrible that they call is the best contraception there is out there. Anyway`s I am not unfortantly, Apparently the Implanon can make you believe & feel like you are pregnant. Which I believe is S**t. Just the only thing I can suggest is if you have any doute then go to the docs & demand a scan, because apparently the tests come up negative when on the Implanon aswell so hope this helps you all out :) x

Hi

I am on my second implant (put in feb 10), the last few months i have been feeling so out of sorts, my breasts have got bigger, my weight has increased, heartburn and people keep asking if im expecting. Like most of you i have been to my doc and family planning with these symptoms and been told there is no chance that i could be pregnant. I just let it go and about a week ago i was in the bath and got a weird sensation in my lower abdomon which felt like a kick it was a powerfull one not just a flutter. I went back to the docs who carried out a test which came back negative but she has requested a U/S to be carried out and this will be on the 2nd nov. I never had anything like this with my first implant. i have had no periods since my first was put in in 2007 which is great but so wish i knew what was going on with my body. I feel like im going mad. I am also taking sertraline (antidepressant) so i really dont know what i want the result to be.

Would be great if some of you that have had to go for tests could post your results as would like to know just how safe this form of contraception is.

hello all i need some help,
im 17 years old im on the implant ive had it in 1 year and half and im wondering can you get pregnant on it, i took a test about 3 weeks ago but that come back negative. I have had a lot of pains, still on my periods and i have a really inflamed stomach and low blood pressure but i got told when i first had it put in it was the safest contraceptive thing out so i got it but now im scared as my sister inlaw has had 2 beautiful boy and she had the same pains as me. Ive been having a craving for chocolate and garlic mayo :-/ weird. please get back to me asap im so worried can someone email me [email protected]
Thanks nat.

hi i've had the implant in for 2 and a half years i've experienced no problems my periods were few and far between and very light. Around april this year they became as they were before the implant, regular and more heavy, i hadn't had sex in about year but had met someone and was worried the implant could be stopping working, i called in the chemist and asked the pharmasist and she said it could be, so i called my family planning clinc and they said no way and i was safe....

so since then i have had sex which was august, when my period was due in september it was about a week and a half late and very light i did do a pregnancy test which came back negative, but i still had the feeling of been pregnant! the test was negative so i just thought its me been paranoid! Me and my partner want to concive so i had the implant removed at the beginning of october. The doc assured me my periods would return and i explained that i had had them regular for the last six months, she said okay fine....

i was due on my period on the 14th October and still not had it so its 7 days late, i still have the general feeling of been pregnant, bloated tired no sickness but i didn't with my daughter who's now 12! i have had pains in my groin area and lower back for a while now too.... i called the family planning clinc and they say there is no way i could be pregnant as you don't produce eggs while having the implant and its prob just me ovulating again.....

how can women get pregnant on the implant if you don't produce eggs????

its all rather confusing me as for the two and half years i had it in i was fine no side effects at all then my periods come back and are normal and regular and then they go irregular again and i feel pregnant, i wouldn't mind one bit if i was pregnant i would be over the moon,

i'm so glad i've had it taken out and i won't ever be having another put in!

i also worked it out that i would be 10 weeks pregnant now if i am and that seems to be when others found out or mc, i just have that feeling i am pregnant if you know what i mean!!!

i have ordered some tests and will let you no if i am or not!

i feel for you ladies having these problems luckily i have only had them for a couple of months and now its out, i suppose if i'm not pregnant hopefully i will return to a normal cycle and not feel pregnant,

hope everything works out for you all xxx

If you go on this link you will find alot of people have been pregnant on it, and although the date on it is quite old it was on the news recently about a lady who has just given bith to twins who concieved while using implanon i have the implanon inserted im not happy with the symtoms it gives me and ive had two false pregnancys. i asked my docter to take it out but as others say they wont do it and they make you feel stupid for suggesting that you mite be pregnant, hope this helps answer some questions, and im not scare mongering i just think people deserve to know the truth

Not trying to scare anyone but unfortunately getting pregnant on the implant is completly possible.
This is my story so I hope some of you will go and demand blood tests from your gp.
I had my implanon inserted in july 2009 just after my 15th birthday. At first I experienced eratic bleeding and weight gain but that was totally due to the implant. After about 6 months my bleeding became quite regular and I thought that was completly normal.
In August 2010 I experienced some sickness but assumed it was a bug after only lasting a week or so. I had a small amount of weight gain by about December(going from 8st 9 to 9 st 1) but not enough to really tell or think anything of.
At the beginning of January I got really sore breasts when I woke up and noticed a need to go to the toilet more often so started to be quite worried about it and after talking to my boyfriend went to the doctors. As I'd done 3 hpt tests he dismissed it saying that the implant was just settling in.
On the 30th May I had a fall off of a trampoline in cheerleeding practise and about an hour later had severe pains in my side which I was refered to hospital for.
They noticed I'd started bleeding and did a blood test anyway which showed up I was pregnant so they said I was having an m/c. They organised a scan to show this but instead of showing a m/c it showed my daughter. Within two hours of the scan i'd given birth
So people if youre worried please get checked out :D

hi everyone, I?d really appreciate if someone could get back to me on this as I?m starting to get really worried.

I?ve been on the implanon since June 2010, apart from weight gain I?ve had no issues to date. I have very light bleeding every couple of months. but recently I?ve been experiencing weird dreams (of pregnancy and birth) heartburn, headaches, increase in food cravings and have gained a dress size in the past month and I keep feeling flutters like kicking. this week it seems like by belly has just completely changed shape. I?m wearing a skirt today, which 2 weeks ago fitted fine it is now extremely tight and shows a perfect bump. I had thick discharge about a month or so ago followed by I little bleeding. could I be pregnant?? all round my body feels different. almost not my own. there are a lot of people pregnant around me and I do feel quite broody but I know I?m not ready emotionally or financially. I took a pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago which was negative but these symptoms are just progressing more and more. please reply any advice would be much appreciated

To add... I feel dizzy ... lots of times, everyday.... that I feel I could pass out sometimes. Not good at all. I feel like throwing up in the morning after my coffee which I always do... coffee in the morning. ahhhh just frustrating!

We all seem to wonder what is going on in our bodies ... ANYBODY PREGNANT NOW? OR NOT?

God! Just everytime I look at my boobs sore to pain feel and there's a milky-ish fluid coming out when I stimulate it, this is me pregnant! I knew because I have a 3 years girl now. I got new implanon nearly 3 months ago (June 2, 2011) which since it was put in, no period showing up at all. Its worth saying that I had my first implanon June 2008 just after I gave birth to my daughter and it couldn't be more good to me. Period was perfect, no odd feelings, everything was perfect. Just this few months now that I am getting this frustrating feeling of being PREGNANT LIKE SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS. Here I am looking paranoid as my husband would look at me everytime I brought this situation up.

My feelings are: ESPECIALLY THIS MONTH (AUGUST 2011)

Headaches, everyday, light to moderate pain;
on and off to constant pain in my lower abdomen;
back pain/pelvic pain;
breasts are just sore sore sore, tender and there's above water-like fluid/milk coming out;
just generally tired, tired, tired;
odd cravings for food;
bloating;
frequent trip to the toilet for this past month which I would normally have pees 2/4 times a day ... now like 10 at least;
cramps on my legs,
getting tired just for a short walk now... which I cud normally walk miles with my daughter easily;

Body wise, from size UK 6, 3 months ago up to 8.... and now I am UK size 10 just within this 2 months period.... I don't know if its just the effects of the apparently NEW IMPLANON that was put on me. I have done 2 pregnancy tests myself (August 13 the first test, negative! August 18 the second one negative). Husband told me to just go to the doctor, so I did (August 22). She just took a normal test, and negative. Now, I am not satisfied. I am still feeling pregnant but I don't know either .... Poster, I would love to hear from you

WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOME POSTERS ABOVE IN THIS FORUM COULD COME BACK WHATEVER THE NEWS ARE, IF PREGNANT OR NOT?... WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND CAN SHARE HOW THOSE EFFECTS/SYMPTOMS TURNED OUT NOW? THANK YOU. :)

Hi all I fell pregnant on implant horrible experience took 5 test 2 negative 3 positive head was all over blood test confirmed it mc shortly after not nice at all

Okay I have been on the implanon for a full year now.. got it July 2010. I was feeling fine and having periods like clock work until my last period in the early week of March. The last time I had sex with a guy is March 18. I have not had a period since then, and I have been treated for migranes which were horrible.. Everyone has noticed I put on weight, and that my eating habits have become heavier than normal.. Thats normal for the implanon.. Long story short....

I am having clear breast discharge only when stimulated
my periods had stopped after march after having them regularly
my stomach becomes tightened and hard sometimes for no reason and other times because of strong emotion
in the past month, I have been having chest pain where it feels my chest has dropped
itchy nipples
i have felt flutters in my stomach
my lower back hurts badly sometimes
now I cant even walk up a small flight of stairs without getting tired

I normally have an irregular weight which it goes up and down on its own.. last time I weighed myself I was 163 lbs, then 3 weeks later 167 then 3 weeks after that I weighed 172 lbs.. Jus yesterday I weighed 170 lbs.

The doctors tell me that its nothing but probably gastrointestinal problems..
someone who has had a child before help me

Hihi, in have had the impilon sense april of 2009 . I've love dit, but the past couple of weeks I've been have really bad headaches, getting really dizzys, horriable stomach aches, wanting to eat everything and boobies are super sore. I feel like I'm rpegant but I'm scared if I'm just anxious or if I am. I haven't puked at all but sometimes I feel like I want to. Does anybody else feel like this or help? Does the test you buy from a store tell you for sure if you are or not?

I had my implanon removed due to horrible side effects (constant bleeding for a full 6 months!) but I do know a girl who just had a baby while on it. She only found out 4 weeks before she gave birth and is furious with the doctors.

Anon - I don't think they can force you to keep it or refuse to remove it, that would be forcing you to give up your fertility! Instead of going to your Doctors go to a FPC and ask them to remove it. I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriages and the way you have been treated. But they cannot force you to have contraception, that's against your human rights.

hey my names Tanarah and like I'm on the implant and have been for like 4 months I've had un protected sex and now its 10:15am where I am I feel so sick I can't even move what's wrong with me ? :(

Hi all, I posted on here in Dec '10. Just after I posted, after umpteen negative pregnancy tests, I suffered the worst, heaviest, most painful 'period' ever! Turns out it wasn't a 'period' but a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Had this confirmed by doctor at hospital. Saw my GP who assured me it would never happen again but wouldn't take implant out. Guess what? I've just had my second miscarriage, this time at 13 weeks, whilst on Implanon. GP is still refusing to let me have Implanon taken out due to my arthritis meds. Again I've been assured it couldn't possibly happen again. This has been a very traumatic time and I have absolutely NO confidence in the implant and I will most certainly NOT be getting another one when I finally get this one out in November. In a way it is a relief to know I'm not alone, although this is probably not much comfort to anyone else. My heart goes out to all of you going through this.
