Hi I have been on my implant for a year now and ever since I gave birth to my son 2 yrs ago my periods have changes badly but what I am interested is in this recent year from when I started being on the implanon.
I have been depressed all the time and have headache after headache also can't seem to loose weight at all even if I try and starve myself or eating the healthy way and I have gained to over a stone which I struggle to keep from gaining more on top of it
So since then my periods have been odd one month I have a normal one one month none at all one month I will have it for 3-4 weeks the as soon as the month changes I get another one straight away but the colour is never the same
It is red the first day then the next few days it will be dark brown to black with cloths in it all the time not just once in a while
I have had a pregnancy test a week ago and I am not pregnant so I don't know what is happening
My GP won't take it out either as I hasn't been there for over 18 months min so I am getting desperate
I am tired of feeling tired and depressed and moody always having headaches and not being able to get my body back as I was 6 stone(b4 pregnancy) and now I am 8and a half
Can anyone advice before dong my nut at the GP?

Is there any way you can go to another doctor and get a second opinion?

I can't say for sure, but there is a chance you're experiencing a hormonal imbalance. It could be from the implant, or something else, but this really should be looked at.

Good luck!
