Anyone know how to get a contraceptive implant taken out as an emergency?

[QueenStromba]

I've had the thing for three weeks and it has completely ruined my mental health to the point where I almost just took it out myself with a kitchen knife. It's also causing me a lot of pain after healing at first since it's moving up and down my arm - it was about a centimeter down from the insertion site, then migrated back to almost the insertion site and now is a centimeter away once again. I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can have it taken out quickly? Is a minor injuries unit likely to do it? Might they be reluctant to do it but be willing if I tell them that I'll do it myself otherwise?

Thanks. I'm already feeling a lot better - worrying that it would be a major battle to have it taken out was definitely making me feel a lot worse.

Well done queen. You have def done the right thing in getting it properly removed. Hope you feel ether each day. X

Hey I've had the same problem with the implant and I have a mental health illness and the doctor said she isn't qualified to do it so she moved it to next week but she out the impant jn so she should be qualified. Anyways my depression and meltdowns are getting worse and need it out ASAP

Any walk in clinic should be able to do it same day

No I phoned up and said they can't do it.

I had one and hated it, it sent me absolutely loopy, I just called the Drs as I was considering taking it out myself with a craft knife. Nurse took it straight out when I said I was going to do it myself. Hope you're feeling better now it's out.

Zombieeeeeee. Go to a sexual health clinic, and explain it needs out.

That's great. It really didn't take long to feel back to me after it was out. Glad you're sorted.
