The problem is, is that I did speak to my GP about other options a couple of months ago when I had him test my iron levels. There is the IUD which freaks me out, the pill I don't trust myself to take, the injection is pretty much the same as Implanon. So I guess from there is it natural methods which I am not against but I guess I need to explore things further. Mind you, I am SO clucky right now I probably wouldn't care if something happened
I guess I just needed to hear from you gorgeous girls to know it's not right what is happening and that it needs removing
I don't know about everyone else, but I don't DTD when I have my period. So with all that bleeding yuo have been having. I would say, at least thats one thing.. It is working as a contraceptive! LOL sorry
I've recently BTDT with the heavy bleeding - TMI - we're talking about getting though a 16gm super tampon & a maternity pad within an hour. I saw my GP and in my case it's related to my recent medical treatment, but since I can't take any hormones to moderate it (breast cancer), she prescribed a drug called cyclokapron, which slows the bleeding pretty amazingly effectively. It can cause some digestive side effects, and I had to scale back how many pills I was taking, but it still worked well. So that might be something you can use to help while you take your time deciding what you are going to do about the implanon.
Implanon is horrible stuff. Totally screwed up my hormones and my cycles. I had mine in for 8 months and never stopped bleeding the whole time. As soon as it was taken out my periods went to nice normal 2 day bleeds, every 28 days, almost to the hour (arriving same time of day ever month)!
