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......

It's not impossible to get pregnant on Implanon, it happened to someone I know four years ago.
The makers of Implanon know this and were sued.
The BNF know this too.

Hey guys.. Ive had implanon in since May 2010.
At the start my periods were all over the place but after about a year I got them regularly. For the last month however I have had it THREE times :(

Do you think I could be pregnant?
I just think its strange that its gone weird again also I keep getting a pain in my side. I have been losing weight because Ive been doing weight wachers however.

Last week I also got a numb pain in my arm two days where the bar is.

Please help :( I don't want to be pregnant Im still in college!

I'm new to this, I'm 28 and been on the implant for over 2 years I'm due to have it out nov 12. However I have been told it may have already run out as I am overweight, the doctors just don't seem to know I have also had terrible cramps and passed lots of clots about 5 weeks ago on my last period. I was having periods about every four months which was fine with my body up until the last one.

Problem is I'm struggling to have this thing out or changed everywhere has a waiting list I'm worried I may even already be pregnant as I have several symptoms. Has anyone had an implant run out after two years??

I WENT ON THIS BIRTH CONTROL WHEN I WAS 15 AND AT 17 I DELIVERED A HAPPY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY THAT I CONCEIVED RUFFLY IN DECEMBER 4 MONTHS BEFORE I TURNED 17. I DID NOT FIND OUT I WAS PREGNANT UNTIL AUGUST 7TH AND I HAD MY SON OCTOBER 7TH! THE ONLY REASON I EVEN FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WAS BECAUSE I SAW MY SONS FOOT KICK FROM MY STOMACH! THIS BIRTH CONTROL SCREWS WITH YOUR SYSTEM AND IF YOU FEEL YOU MAY BE PREGNANT STAY ON TOP OF TAKING TEST! SO IF YOU DO GET PREGNANT WHILE ON IT YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU GET TO YOUR LAST TRIMESTER! I AM ALMOST 21 NOW AND MY SON IS STILL HAPPY AND HEALTHY AS CAN BE ! BUT I STILL WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE KNOWN SOONER SO I COULD OF MADE SURE THAT HE WAS OK AND NOT DONE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I DID WHILE I WAS PREGNANT WITHOUT KNOWING IT. GOOD LUCK TO EVERY ONE WHILE ON THIS IT WAS THE WORST BIRTH CONTROL I HAVE EVER USED. THE BREAST PAIN THE LEAKAGE THE CRAMPS THE MISSED UP PERIOD THE MOOD SWINGS ALL MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE PREGNANT THEN WHEN YOU SAY OK ITS JUST THE BIRTH CONTROL SURPRISE IT ISN'T ALWAYS THE CASE.

Hi! I just got my implanon 1/04/2012. so, i've only had it for a little over a week. my period was due any dayy! it had been 29 days since the first day of my LMP the day i got the implant. i still haven't started! it's been 38 days now. is this normal? i would think that i would have my period since i was technically a day late. what do you ladies think? i need your help!

Hi all, came here by accident looking for info about ovarian tests, saw the implanon thread and thought Id join in. I've had implanon and it's predecessors since 1997 after I fell pregnant due to a split condomn and decided on a termination as I was 19 at the time. My own experience with these implants has been great. I have never had any problems, no mood swings, periods have been as regualr as clockwork. However this is my personal experience. I would advise any woman to try implanon for themselves, but we are individuals and no one contraception is going to work for every woman. Remember the only fullproof contraception is abstinence!!
I would advise any woman who is worried or having problems with their implant to go and see the GP/Nurse who put it in. Failing that you could try your local family planning clinic for advice. I now live in London but still return to Yorkshire to have my implant changed as the Consultant is brilliant. But the most important thing for you to remember is that whilst doctors and health professionals are trained adn are experts in lots of things - YOU know YOUR body and if you're not happy with it, or the advice they give you, go back, or go somewhere else until you get the answers you need. Take care x.

I've been on implanon for 2 years now during this time frame i have missed my period once. My periods never came on the same day of each month but hey they came. I'm currently now not had a cycle in a month....y? Could I really be pregnant..??

That's crazy I have been on it for two years now, & just now missing my cycle for a month. I really dont think it is a side effect, cause im sure side effects come or more likely to show up as soon as you get it and fade away. While on this BC I have always had a cycle each month and some have lasted longer than others. Currently not had a cycle in a month so I'm flipping out and exspecially after reading all of this stuff online has got me wondering.

So were u pregnant? I have been on the Implanon for two years and I am just not going a month without my cycle, I just find it really weird!

hi, help anybody pleaseeeee.. :) iv had my implant in now for nearly 3years on the 16th of feb.. iv not had a period through out the whole time of having it in.. but this past week my body has felt very strange my boobs are very sore and feel heavy hurt to touch kills to even take my bra off.. iv had stomach pains i had a MC a few years ago and remember the stomach pains while been pregnant..

hello im 18 years old and i have had the implanon in for almost 3years. i will be getting it taken out in 6months but last night i got sick 6 times and i am still feeling sick. i just seen my bf last week for my birthday and we did things. i am worried i might be pregnant since ive been tired n getting sick so much. so does anyone know wat pregnancy test would work best to find out early results n should i also get a blood test done? plz help

hey guys; im 16 and have had periods since i was 12 which were quite painful, so painful i was administered into hospital and given morphine (which im allergic to that we found out) so they put me on the pill to regulate periods which worked for three months taking them correctly and such then all of a sudden i was bleeding through the whole month and was getting extrapainful periods, went to doctors after three months of waiting for it to settle. then was put on the Depo injection (every three months)and continuously bled for 4 needles and by now regular hospital appointments. i went off all contraception (no sex) i now permanently have iron deficiency disorder. so as a last resort they put me on the Implanon which i have been on for three months now and still continuously bleeding

have been checked for all sorts of stuff all came back negative
has anyone else seen or heard of these symtoms,
please help its ruining my life. i feel embarrassed to go anywhere im self concious and have started seeing someone recently but am not able to have sex due to continuous bleeding. :(

Did you find out if you was pregnant or not ??? I feel like im going crazy my mood swings are horrible feel like constant super pmt getting headaches, swollen abdomen, sickness, sweating at night its awful. I already have two children and took a pregnancy test about 8 weeks ago came back negative but i feel like im pregnant does this contraception work

Reading this has got me really worried?! I've had my implant for ages and never had a problem, i was in a 3 year relationship, when we split i kept the implant and have since slept with 2 people..(i was very drunk both times) does alcohol compromise the implant and make it stop working? Ive been feeling really weird since, butterfly feeling in my abdomen, feeling sick, CONSTANTLY tired. Do i need to have the implant removed to do a test?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated as im only 20 and im freaking out!!!

I have been experiencing all the same symptoms as all the above. I have two kids, so I feel positive that I am pregnant....however have also only had negative HPT results. Recently went to the doctor and told them all of my symptoms, they also did a test...NEGATIVE. I have done a ton of reading and research. I am very unhappy with this contraceptive and am getting it out today. I will also be getting an ultrasound done next week, I will keep you all posted to see if I actually am pregnant.
Oh and thanks for all the posts, this really helps not to feel alone.

hi i have just read quite a few of these comments, i am not worried just very paranoid that i could be pregnant as i feel sick for no reason (not ill sick) and keep feeling movement in my big belly, even if i had a bump i couldn't tell, i do regular tests just to keep check, i never come on regular so that's no help, all my tests have been neg but im waiting for that day it fails this is my 2nd implanon and i didnt have this with the 1st one, i will let you know what the next test says.

Hi, I've have just bin reading some of your post's and I'm starting to get a bit worried ! I have bin felling sick nearly every day 4 about 2 weeks now and I'm starting panic. I'm on my second implnon an never had any problems no weight gain,periods nothing but I have the feeling I'm pregnant !! My boobs r sore I'm getting really moody and I could cry at anything ? I cant bring myself to do a test. I'm 25 and in a good relationship but still don't think it's the right time to have kids. Looking at what some of you have put you all seem to have had periods b4 falling pregnant were as I haven't. Do you think this has anything to do with this(stopped working) I think I'm going to give it a few more days and if I still feel the same I'm gonna just have to bit the bullet and do a test :/ so wish me look x

Hello,
Just a quick message. I'm 21 and have been on the implanon since the beginning of September 2011. I should probably begin at the start of my "problems". im sorry if this info is TMI but im just really worried. the last proper period i had was in march which lasted about a week, which is normal for me. about three weeks ago, i started craving milk, which is unheard of, because i hate hate hate milk, but i just had to have it. i skipped over april without having a period and around a week ago, i had a really light period that lasted only 3 days, it was basically only brown discharge and a little blood. i thought i was fine then, as i got my period, but now im beginning to have a "heavy" feelin gin my lower abdomin and an annoying pain in my right side. this only happens at night. but htis morning im feeling nauseas. my boobs do feel a bit heavier and im having mood swings. i cant stop eating and even after a big meal, im starving again after an hour. i havnt taken a PT as im just too afraid of the answer. i dont know whether i would be glad to be pregnant or not. im in a stable relationship but i dont think i could handle it. thanks. any help would be great.
