what to expect when getting implanon removed

[missingmyflatbelly]

hi

had lots of bleeding on implanon so am getting it removed after nearly a year. appiontment is next week, what should i expect once its out? will i bleed more for a few days like you do when you come off the pill? anything else to expect?

thanks

Hi,
I had mine removed and there wasn't much to notice, I had had irregular periods with it so they continued for a bit after, and were quite heavy actually- but I dont know if that was more down to my PCOS I had developed?! I went onto the Yasmin pill a few months later and that evened everything out.
I had the implant for a total of 5 yrs, bled almost continuously for the first year, took the mini pill for a week to sort out periods then I didnt have one for a couple of years after that! Strange hormonal treatment!

thank you kaybump. are you saying you got pcos from the implanon? and did yo take the mini pill whilst on the implanon?

I had mine out after 6 months or so due to endless bleeding, and it stopped within 24 hrs -yay!

oh i hope i have the same experience as you jojay!! i'm counting down teh days to next tuesday right now as this bleeding is a headache!!

I did the same as Kaybump... works a treat - worth trying first imo.

thanks 1catherine. i had never heard of that and i would try it, however i only wanted to have the implant in til september before ttc so its only a case of three more months of contraception. so i'm having the implant out early and then using barrier methods for a couple of months. i only wish i knew of the mini pill option earlier though as then i wouldn't have had so much misery these last few months as then it would definitely have been worth a try:(
