Anyone here got pregnant whilst on Implanon?

[Haribosmum]

Just asking because I've been on it for 6 months and bled every month...except this month. I am sure I'm just having a month 'off' due to the Implanon but I have been feeling sick,headachy etc. Probabaly or pyschological or a bug but I was just wondering......

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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.....

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.

hiyaaaa guy can u help me please ermmm i have had the implant for just over 2 years now and i have had my period every month really regular then this month i haven't had a thing my moods are unbelievable constantly going to the loo i did have a bit tenderness at the start of the month and a wee bit sicky aswell n constantly eating what do u guy thing i should 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.

hi im kathy im new to this to. umm well let me see i got my implanon put in in june 2008 and had another one put in this year in may well im 2 and half months late my stomach hurts, i get headaches i feel nauseus got sick a couple times but the thing is we use protection. but it broke around the edges 2 and half months ago. im scared dont know wat to think dont know if i can be or not any suggestions?

oh and i have had a period eve3ry month while on the implanon no matter how long it lasted i still had one every month

hiyaa guys i dont no if anyone read my comment i wrote last week but this is my second month with out my period do u guys think its worth my while taking a HPT or do u think this is normal as i siad before i have had the implant for over 2 years and i have never misses so what do yous think xx

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???

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?

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...

HI, im new on this. i was wondering if anyone could help..
Ive had the implant for over a year now.
i did a pregnancy test 4 months ago with my then partner and it was possitive, but also had a negative one so i thought nothing of it.
ive put weight on, my boobs have been sore on and off. Dizzyness, tiredness, nausea..ive had it all. i dont know wether its just in my head that i am. i have no children so i dont know what it feels like. im scared to talk to my parents as im only 17.
can anyone help? thankyou x

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?????????????
this aint much help but i just thought as am the same age u might find it easyer to talk xxxxx robyn write back if u want

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

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 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!

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!

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 :(.
