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 my name is talysha and i have been on the implanon for 1 year and a half now and at first i was getting no periods and then i started spotting and now every other month i sometimes bleed but mostly spot and i have been moody and gaining weight more than usual and everyone says i look pregnant and i think i am going crazy if i am pregnant how would i know and how possible is it to become pregnant after a year use and its put in correctly

Hi, I've had the implant since 19th April 2012, and that was all fine - however about a week and a half ago I had to take a week off work as I was waking up and having terrible migraines, felt seriously nauseous and felt exhausted - since then I've been craving chocolate brownies and sugar, I've gone from 2 tbsp of sugar in my tea to 3 1/2! I've. Ow tarted experiencing painful 'kicks' on my lower right side of my stomach just under my ribs and down to the bikini line, not to mention lower spine and back pain (it's so bad I have to hold it!) I got the implant as at 19 years old it seemed the best choice and because I have an issue with swallowing tablets and pills not to mention my bad memory I felt it was common sense to go for this, but all of these symptoms and the little bulge I'm developing had made me worried as I do not use condoms with my boyfriend. Now because the doctor was adamant you can't get pregnant on the implant - any help? Not quite a subject I'm gonna worry my own mother yeti it's yet? Xx

Hi guys,

I like many that have already posted am more paranoid after reading previous posts. I have been getting slight abdominal pain and feel bloated, my belly feels so big and yes I have been wondering is it possible to fal pregnant on the implanon, I have been on it for 2 yrs now why not then why maybe now?? is it all in my head, the more I think about it the more I wonder is it me making my self crazy feeling all these pokes and thinking I'm pregnant???
I have been to the doctors and had a ultrasound done, my kidneys, liver, pancreas and gallbladder all fine, but I still feel like I have a bloated belly, feel like little pokes here and there no morning sickness or head aches or craving but I also never got that when I fell pregnant with my son. Obviously from what I have read I am not the only one that feels like this on the implanon but no one really comes back on here to say if there pregnant or something else. I have a doctors appointment this avo and hopefully can get an answer, I will keep you posted.

Hi,

My implant is due out in a couple months time. I?ve always had good periods and regular periods until 3 months ago. I?ve not come on in 3 months and I?m panicking like mad!!!!!.

I was seeing this guy and had sex with him twice only twice and now I?m feeling pregnant stomach big and bloated. Getting headaches which I never ever get, tired all the time, moody, eating loads, I?ve done a test said negative.

Help please? Anyone got pregnant on the implant or anything?

Hi, im after some advice, i've had my implant for 2 years now, its due for removal april 2013, over the past few weeks ive felt like im pregnant, (having 4 children before the implant was fitted) ive been feeling sicky, headaches, sore breasts, ive gained a bit of weight, etc... I was wondering if i could be pregnant? Ive read all the posts on here and im even more convinced now... do i buy a test as ive seen that on the implant the tests come back negative or do i just go and see the dr as i dont want to leave it too long? Help any advice would be great ... xx

hi! ive been on implanon a year august 15 2012 and i havent had a period since day one but starting last month my breast began to leak milk and ive been having pregnancy symtoms since morning sickness all day sleeping alot and eating crazy stuff like i just ate lays cheddar sour cream chips and cookies and cream ice cream...TOGETHER! I took a home test about two weeks ago and it was negative my belly is a bump now and my docs app isnt until aug 15th i need some advice!

Stop panicking everyone! The most effective way to avoid pregnancy is by not having sex! Provided the implant was inserted correctly, and you weren't already pregnant when it was inserted, the risk of pregnancy is very small: of women using implant, less than one woman in 100 will get pregnant in 1 year of use. Having said that, if youre still worried, use condoms too. The bleeding pattern you get is notoriously unpredictable, and a lot of women have no bleeding at all after 9 months of having it in.

Oh, and if you're worried about being pregnant now, take a test! Ensure you read the packet first, as some may not show up positive until 21 days after your last sex.

hi, just woondering if i get some advice please? my implant rusn out in august so on the 19th of july i went to get it take it taken out. my doctor tried for 45 minutes and couldnt remove it, she said it was lodged and had attached to the tissue. she has scheduled for me to go to hospital next week to have it removed by someone with more experience (doctors words, not mine). anyway since having the implant i have regular periods every month for the ast 3 years, its worked amazing for me. but i havent come on my period now and im now a week late. she said it wouldnt of changed its effectiveness but does any one know more...???

my thoughts are maybe she has dislodged it and made it less affective or maybe its scuppered the hormone release so my periods are affected. i dont think a pregnancy test would show this early but if some one could shed some light i would REALLY appreciate it!!!
thankyou

Hi Everyone, getting a bit worried reading all these posts.

Ive been on the implant for 18 months now and ive never had a problem with it, regular periods although my mood swings can go a bit crazy!!!!

But i've not had a period in the last 6/7 weeks and having so many signs of pregnancy...... swollen breasts, darkening nipples and veins showing, back ache, tiredness, going off food and alot of heartburn. ive convinced myself that im pregnant but 3 pregnancy tests later its still saying negative!!

Ive got a 2 year old son and also suffered a miscarriage so i feel i know my body quite well when it comes to pregnancy. going to book myself into the doctors tomorrow afternoon although got a feeling im going to be told its impossible, like a lot of you have been told. I think its disgusting how some doctors dismiss people with pregnancy symptoms on the implant!

Anyway wish me luck! :/

Hello ladies,
I'm 18 and have had Implanon for a year.
I've had such intense pregnancy symptoms but my doctor refuses to give me a blood test!
I've been experiencing;
blood noses, cramps, cravings, bloating, weight gain (only on my stomach and breasts)
headaches, mood swings and a metallic taste in my mouth.
I've gone from being a super tiny 45kgs to 56kgs in about ten weeks.
I've had regular sexual relations with my long term partner relying solely on the Implanon.
I did 6 HPT , three positive and three negative.
Help me! Could I be pregnant?

I've only had the Implant fitted for 2 and a half months. I had spotting for the first few weeks but then nothing. I've been getting 'early pregnancy symptoms' such as back aches, stomach cramps, mood swings and the past week I've had more spotting... but don't know if its even possible? I'm only 17, but in a relationship. Should i be worried? :( please give advice xxx

Hi everyone

Can someone help me please

I've had te implanon in since February 2011 after I had a miscarriage ! I thought I couldn't face it again,,

Lately I have been feel different like I felt when I found out I was pregnant before I Gad a MC

Feel nauseous everyday
Tummy cramps back cramp
Head aches
Fatigued
Eating different things
And I've gained a bump!

I've took 5 pregnancy tests and they have all come up negative

I don't no what to think

I am planning on having the implanon out this month anyway
But ........ Eek

Please someone talk to me :)

Hi I have had the implanon since March 29th, 2011 after my daughter was born on the 15 of March last year. I have been pregnant 3 times with the implanon and the last time I miscarried being a month to a month and a half along. Now here I am late on my period again and I think I am pregnant again. Next month I am getting this stupid non working thing out of my arm and me and my husband are just going to be safe until we are ready again.

I fell pregnant on implanon. I was told that it was because of my epilepsy medication lowering the effectiveness though. Which is why I also had the Mirena at the same time.

I was told that it is VERY rare though. In my case, it was more likely because my periods hadn't stopped AND because of my epilepsy meds.

If this is just a cessation of periods through the implanon settling in, I'd say it's even less likely that you will or have fallen pregnant.

I have had my period every month until now with my implanon and I have been on it for 17 months now. I gained a lot of weight with the implanon and then I started to diet and lost weight and now I am gainbing it again because I think I am pregnant again for the 4th time in 17 months being on the implanon.

I've been on Implanon for nearly 3 years (it comes out next March). Certainly some of the side effects haven't been pleasant but I've had no worries about getting pregnant on it. I spoke to my GP about it recently though and he said they're all being replaced with ones called Nexplanon or something due the number of people getting pregnant with Implanon. The implant itself wasn't the problem, it was being inserted incorrectly and thus was being ineffective. The Nexplanon is much easier for people not to mess up inserting it.

I'm so sick of this implanon!
I've been on it 10 months now and I have bleed non stop the WHOLE time,
I'm on the mini pill 3 times a day just to stop the bleeding but It doesnt stop the cramping.
I feel so pregnant and moody constantly to the point where its affecting my relationship.
The mood swings,
bleeding,
cramps,
Gone up 3 cup sizes and ive gotten so "bloated",
gone from a 6 pack to people asking how far along i am..

deffo's getitng this out!!

I got Implanon on Feb 3, 2012, roughly 6 weeks after having my 2nd daughter. When I got it, I had NO periods up until July. Then they came every 2-3 weeks up until now. I have been bloating, getting headaches, eating everything, randomly getting sick at smells, super grumpy for no reason. We are having this taken out ASAP because it's just too much, plus I am pretty sure we are pregnant again. I have taken home tests that say NEGATIVE but .... I know my body. I just hope that I do not M/C if I am.

Hi my name is Sunni. I've been on the implanon for a year now! The past two months I've been ganing a ton of weight, really bad headaches, really bad ance ( which is strange cause I've never had ance this bad), i have a belly bump and its hard feels just like a pregnant belly, weird food cravings, and so on. I've called my obgyn nurse and told her everything that was going on and she told me that there was no way I could become pregnant on the implanon.
Well I've taken 3 test, all which came back neg. I'm litterally think I'm going crazy. I had been having periods every month since ive been on the implanon. Until june came along and then i stoped! Please someone idk what is going and it really is driving me crazy! I mean i can't even fit into any of my clothes anymore. And I've been having like these cramps in my lower ab area and they have been going on for 2 months. I really would like some answers. Either way this devil stick is coming out of my arm next week!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I've had the implanon since April of 2011. And ever since I got it I have never stopped my period. I may have 3-5 days between each period but they are very consistent. I recently went to the doctor again about it and they gave me 3 months of birth control pills to try and regulate my period. But my body rejected them by making me extremely sick. But in the past couple of weeks I have had many symptoms that are like my first pregnancy. I'm always hungry but when I go to eat I only take a few bites and want to throw it back up. I'm extremely tired and more moody lately.

I just didn't know if there was just the chance I could be pregnant. Even though I've taken many test and they all come out negative. I've been told by some that I could be getting a false result due to all the hormones in the implanon

So I had my 1st baby in Feb this year and got the implanon put in the 1st 6 months had my periods on and off and than it stopped. Ive been getting bad head aches, sleep a lot, moody and my belly ain't getting any smaller and is hard. I took a test and came back negative...

Also I had a smear of blood ????? Scared

Can't believe some of the things Iv found out from reading all your comments I myself have had the implant in for only a few months due to no other contraception working for me and having three children already, but I am 100% frightened to death now as I have never gained weight all my life even after having my children n I have a pot belly I put this down to weight gain from the implant only to find out that its not had reports of any weight gain!! I have not had a pv for some time after having it fit come to think of it I only did for a few days after but my concernse are rasing as if I am my hubby will go mental he practically did whilst I was pregnant with number 3 we argued so bad that I actually moved out for some time until we sorted things out after his birth. As u can understand I really can't see him taking this one very well either as we have no room in our home for another n I could not think of not going through with it as I don't believe it is something to do lightly plz help!!

I am also worried about managing to be pregnant on the implanon! :/

I have an almost 2 year old, and I wanted to wait a few years before having another baby, and wanted a more reliable b/c as I had become pregnant with my son while on the pill. I had the Implanon put in on the last day of July this year.

I skipped my period in August, and had a 2 week period in September (2 weeks is long, but it was my usual heavy period). But since then, I have had no period. I had some spotting early this month that I thought was my period coming, but then it stopped. I was very surprised, I've never had true spotting, the only time I would spot at all is before a full period started. So that bothers me.

Then over the last few days, I've developed a TON of pregnancy symptoms. But its confusing because they are things that happened to me later on in my son's pregnancy! I have lower back pain and major rib pain, my ribs just ache and ache. I had trouble sleeping last night because of it. And I just feel weak, very tired.

I am worried that not only have I become pregnant, but there might be more than 1 or an ectopic. It just doesn't make any sense and there should be NO reason my ribs are hurting like this.

By the way, I have some extra weight, my doctor DID tell me that there is a very small chance if you have extra weight at all you can get pregnant on implanon. It has not been studied in people with above average weight/BMI. I assume that may be where I went wrong, even though I am not that bad, its the only thing I can think of. No positive pregnancy test via urine yet though, it may be recent. But the pain is ridiculous.
