If I write down how I feel, I'll feel better

That's the plan anyway. I am this close to crying, that is when I'm not feeling like I'm about to explode.
It's all down to the implanon stick in my arm. I've had it for just over a year now and been on the pill for most of that time as I was bleeding constantly and heavily despite it. I ran out of the pill in November and agreed with my Dr to see if things have settled.
It went well at first and then I had my first period 6 weeks ago. Since then I've had 3 periods with barely a weeks break in between and each time I bleed my emotions go haywire. I can't describe just how awful it is, except to say for the first time in my life I have gone from a cheerful happy person to someone who is constantly on the verge of tears or loosing my temper at the smallest of things.
I have an appointment in 2 weeks with the Dr (the earliest I could get) in which I am going to demand she take the bloody thing out. I will probably just go back on the pill, unless anyone can recommend anything better.
Anyway, sorry for having a moan. I'm not really sure why I'm on here for this as I have a solution of sorts. I just needed to get it off my chest and no one is about to talk to.
Thank you for reading.

Poor you! Have you completed your family?

Hormone contraception did not agree with me after I had children, despite being happy of the pil for years before.

My dh had a vasectomy - Best. Thing. Ever.

Thanks Annie Yes, family all done now. DH did mention a vasectomy but in a lighthearted manner. perhaps it's time we thought about it more seriously.

Poor you Toyko, you must be thoroughly fed up with this. What about Mirena IUCD? Many women found these brilliant, and last for 5 years.

Thanks for the indirect advice. I have thought about it, but was concerned for the reasons you are going through...I will definitely not. Dh was set for snip but then started a new job by the time the appointment came through and couldn't get the time off. I would ask your dh to do this. You have tried your best. Don't try anything else hormone wise as they will all play some sort of havoc with you, maybe more so now your system is so out of whack. I'd get him on the waiting list asap, use condoms and that will motivate him to sort himself out!
