Nexplanon implant

[Theyimplantedapsycho]

I had this put in 12 days ago. I've just travelled an hour and paid £150 to have it removed as it turned me into a monster I have a toddler and a baby and yesterday I was genuinely worried I would smack my toddler. He was playing up and I just got so angry and was far too rough with him. I could see myself doing it and hear the sarcastic and unkind comments coming out of my mouth but couldn't stop it. In the evening the baby was crying and in my head I wanted to scream at him as loud as I could to just fucking shut up. I managed not to fortunately, but I've genuinely been scared of myself these past few days. How the fuck is this considered an acceptable side effect? Wanting to hit and scream at your very young children surely doesn't fall under "mood swings"??? I was similar on cerazette but fine on the Nuvaring but I can't have that anymore.

Please someone tell me they had a similar bad experience! I feel awful towards my toddler (and husband) for how I've been. I think it's also affected my milk supply as baby is suddenly having far more formula (combi fed).

Yes I had this but it's not common and for most people it's a good fit.

It took me days to get a Dr to take it out and they had to prescribe me a sedative in the meantime. Just unlucky.

Bloody hell!!! I decided to go private even though we can't afford it, I just needed it out. I am annoyed that the GP didn't suggest this was likely to happen as I reacted badly to the Cerazette as well, which is also only progesterone.

gosh you poor thing. I've just had mine changed (a year late!!!) three days ago and I'm feeling nervous as last time I had a few weeks of really wild mood swings and the most outrageous hunger. That hasn't started for me yet but I can't remember how long it took last time.

I love my implant - I've had contraceptive implants since I was 19 and I'm now 41 - but I remember being really disturbed by the mood swings last time and it was a bit factor in me putting off having it replaced this time. If it hadn't settled down I'd have definitely done the same as you.

I hope you feel ok. It's not your fault.

It's an uncommon side effect. So it really wasn't "likely" to happen although that doesn't help much. It really scared me for a long time. I am sorry it happened to you as well.

I had terrible moods with Nexplanon. First rage, then depressive feelings. Oh, and the 'spotting' which equated to full on/off periods all the time. Never again.

Bump?

Its so tricky as you never know how different women will react. I think its unfair to complain that they didn't tell you that rage was "likely" to happen, as is really not that common so not likely.
I had really awful mood swings with the pill, but none with nexplanon so its just different for different people. Unfortunately with the implant its not as straightforward as just stop taking it.

So weird isn't it!!! I can't take the combi pill because of the effect on my mood. Cerazette was horrendous but this was hands down the worst. I'm not going to complain to anyone, it would've just been nice to have a warning that as progestin has been known to drive me crackers before it might happen again. I'm fine on the Nuvaring despite being bad on the pill, so I probably gave far too much weight to the route of administration... Implant has been out for almost 60 hours now and today I was almost completely back to normal. Now waiting for this monster period bleeding to end ...
