I have had 3 contraceptive implants in my arm,had 2 then had a break for a couple of years then got the 3rd one put in about a year ago.
Nothing but problems, first of all it was put in by a trainee because i thought " they have to learn" the bruise i was left with for 2 weeks was an unexpected surprise because the young guy was very gentle. It is also very visible through the skin, (last two you couldn't see them)
I then had constant bleeding for about 3 months, nothing for ages, then bleeding again! Serious Pregnancy symptoms, To the point i actually started to believe i was. if i have to pee on a stick again, i am not going to be happy.
And now over the last month, my arm where the implant is, is so itchy I am actually grazed from scratching it.
So my problem is, i want it out! I cant get it out unless i sit at the open clinic from 8am till possible 12, because they have no appointments for 6 weeks.
On a different note, my DP who i am marrying in October, has no issue with condoms, so we could use them. Dont want anything long term as will be TTC after i get married. Thou I would quite happily sack the wedding and have a baby now. My Hormones are out of control! Dont know if i should get it out or just wait until about september.
The Condom thing is all very well but we didnt use them once and i became pregnant but had MMC at 9 weeks, and it totally destroyed him. So he is already freaking about the whole TTC thing.
Cant really go on any other contraceptives, and the coil freaks me out.
So can anybody sort my head out and give me a plan.
