I have had the implant in 3/4 months and the last 3 weeks or so have had all the pregnancy symptoms fatigue sickness sore boob's pains nine tummy. I was demented thinking i was pregnant again, so worried ive hardly slept and have became so down! (Silly i know i should just have taken a test but I was so scared) eventually took one, not pregnant. Then I read up about all the side effects of the implant. Its definetly coming out!!!! Thats for.sure.

I had a very bad time on the progesterone only implant, I was on it for a year. Killed my sex drive but also I then had six weeks of the worst mood ever and wondered if I had a mental health issue. Then it suddenly lifted and a six week period started (not a full period just low level bleeding and spotting). I’m certain I’d had six weeks of severe PMS! “Demented” definitely applied to me!

It figures it could make you feel like you’re pregnant as your progesterone levels increase in pregnancy

I went for a copper coil instead, I just needed to get back to a hormonal baseline
