I have ds1 3,5 and ds2 11m. After ds1 I had the implant (nexplanon) in for 2 yrs and I loved it, no problems at all. I stopped bf ds1 at 18m and after that I had some light spotting, up until then I'd had nothing at all. I had it removed to ttc dc2 and got pg immediately. So I thought it worked great.
Now I've had it in for probably about 10 months. Ds2 is still bf but I went back to work ft a month or so ago and obv this meant I cut down quite a lot on bf, but still feed am, pm and countless times through the night too
Anyway virtually about 2 weeks after i went back to work I started to bleed. I suddenly became an emotional wreck. I spent one full day crying not knowing why, then later felt total unexplained rage for a few days. My skin has broken out into tons of horrid spots all round my chin and nose. Worst of all I suddenly feel unable to cope with my dcs. Normal toddler behaviour sends me into a rage and I just spend all day with them trying to stop myself from shouting and crying. I feel out of control like I don't recognise myself, and I have no idea what's going on. But since it has all started since I started bleeding I suspect it may be linked with hormones. I have also developed a sudden and irrational obsession about whether to have dc3 or not, stupid because ATM I feel I can barely cope with the ones I have, but some days it's all I think about.
I have made a drs appt to discuss getting the implant removed but not sure what the alternative will be. Copper coil perhaps? But I'm worried they'll dismiss me because I've had it for so long without any problems.
Any ideas/advice/experiences?
