Hi Misswingbat, Gee I hope you get everything sorted out,sounds like you have had a hell of a time. Iam going to pass this info onto my Mother,she had a Marina inserted as she had thickening of the Uterus(passed baby rearing now)but has had lots of bleeding,bloating just feeling off,down & always complaining she feels sick.She has also developed a red rash all over her face & thought it was her face cream,but she has used the same cream for years.We thought it might have been a food allergy,but now i think it`s the Marina. Also my Mum lost the first one,it too was floating around and had to be re-fitted with a new one.My Aunty said that in some very small cases,they might also be linked to Cervical Cancer . I don`t understand why Doctor`s don`t tell us all the Info we are intitled to know. Hope you are feeling better soon and everythings worka out for you hun.
TBH, I'm wary of any contraceptive implants. Yes, it might be more convenient - as in you don't hafta remember to take it every day - but the side effects from having that many hormones sitting in your body are ridiculous! I mean, Implanon comes with a warning that says it may affect your periods for up to 12 months after removal!!
I seriously don't think they're healthy - and the longer they're on the market, the more bad stories are coming out.....
I am so sorry that you are having trouble with this.
But seriously - if I was having symptoms like that I would get it taken straight out.
Think of it this way - if you were taking a pill that made you feel like that then you would stop taking it and switch to another one. Unfortunately it isn't for everyone and it seems that you are one of those people.
Thanks Ladies for your responses. I am definitely going to get it taken out, but it seems like whenever I ask anyone about it, they are not as serious as I am - when I sat my DH down and chatted about how I have been feeling, he said that I act like that all the time and I am depressed and angry because I have put on so much weight, and should go on a diet instead... And that the mood swings are normal for me... Not this much. I mean, I have been getting random thougths of suicide, that I don't want my kids, that I should run away, that I am sh"t at how I am as a mother... ERg...
And when I talk to the clinic, and even when I put it in and raised concerns about my history of mood inbalance, they told me it would regulate it and that it was such a safe thing to be doing, and I really felt stupid for asking so many questions. Even when I rang yesterday she was like "Well, Nurse XXX sat you down for your education session - did you not listen? Did you not understand you will not be getting a period anymore? Do you need to come in again for that education session so you clearly understand??"
ERRR!!!
BTW - Mumma B - I love what you said about being unbalanced. That sounds just like me too!!
Trish - I followed that thread, and even brought that up with the nurse on the day - she told me that it probably wasn't true and that only 1 in every 1000 has complications...
Mummy of Many - that sounds like me - so bloated, so blah, and feeling sick. Even though I cannot eat gluten as a coeliac, it doesn't even relate to the symptoms of coeliac. I just feel like CR.P, I really look like it too. I used to have clear, nice skin, now it is dull and pimply. My hair is erg, gross, even though I wash it all the time. I am staying up so late, but sleeping heaps during the day. To be honest? I feel like I have just had a baby 3 days ago - you know that hollow, erg, feeling? Tired, greasy looking, still in pj's, baby belly? But my last bub is now 2 1/2 years old...
And my DH says he cannot notice a difference except I am more grumpy!! And he says I'm grumpy because I am getting FATTER... ARRRRRRRR!!!!!
My counsellor and GP both raved about it too and tried to get me to have it, saying that it would improve my depression and anxiety. I am so glad I didn't go through with it now!
