#Implanon

[nest-being]

reading about people's experiences with implanon and fuck i feel like crying, just the way everyone has been going through the same shit i have this whole time. ridiculous weight gain, insatiable appetite, irregular periods, poor mental health, fatigue... i've been using this birth control since 2016 and idk why i never made the connection that so many of my issues could have been caused by it?? i guess because i've always struggled with my mental health and weight but like, things have been particularly difficult since i've had it in so i really want to have it taken out and see if it makes a difference. even if it just helps my appetite it would be such a huge relief to not feel immediately hungry after eating a meal i stg

CW surgical procedure - detail

Got my implanon out today, it was an interesting experience. Technically the "biggest" medical procedure I've ever had.

They did local anaesthetic, which was fine, but it was SO WEIRD because I was able to watch the doctor shove a scalpel and dig around in my arm and I could not feel a damn thing! It was trippy as hell.

The procedure did not hurt but fuck me the cost did! Near double what I'd expected 🙃

Welcome to today's game of am I depressed, is it my period (or post period) hormones, or is my birth control messing with my mood? Fun times.

Tuesday, 7:41pm

I've reached that point where I'm just done and my body is just too freaking exhausted.

I have been on the implant birth control for about 7 years now and I've finally had it. It has treated me really well, for the first like 5 or 6 years, I didn't have a period and when I did it was like years apart and super light with hardly any cramping. It was perfect. I think I gained weight but that could have either been from the BC or just that my diet and lack of exercise was so bad.

Since I got my second round of the implant, they have extended it from 3 years to 4 years and this is my 4th year. I triple checked with my gyno to make sure it was safe and I wasn't going to get pregnant or have any issues and she assured me, I would be fine. But this last year has just been hell on me.

Since September of 2021, when I started my 4th year with the implant I had two absolutely massively horrible periods. I'm talking emptying a large menstrual cup like every 3 maybe 4 hours. Its awful. Plus my cramps are back, I'm super hormonal and I have zero idea if it's just me, the week, my period or my birth control so I've decided to just get off of the BC.

I asked my husband his opinion, since we are not at the having babies stage yet and he informed me that it was up to me and we can just go back to condoms or another form of birth control that works for me and it's completely my decision. (I seriously love this man)

So I think I'm just ready to go back to condoms and get off this bullshit. Here's the issue with being on BC, any menstrual or vaginal issue you have, can never really be pinned down to anything specific because the reasoning will always be, "Oh that's normal for women on that birth control" and to me that's just plain bullshit. I have having something be an excuse even though I feel really off and just...miserable.

I just want to know if it's me, or there is some other explanation, and I really fucking hope there is because I am seriously over this shit.

UGH.

today i woke up with my period!! and i'm mad about it because i had my period last month, and the month before that as well. but in the past 6 months before that i had it maybe one time. thanks to the magic of implanon. i DO NOT like having my period. it hurts my lower back! it makes my guts feel weird! i was awake for hours last night experiencing sensations! why are you here!!!

I've managed to surprise a lot of doctors over the years by being a trans chronically ill weirdo but my new doctor is pretty unflappable. It took 'can you please remove the magnet I had surgically implanted into my finger' to get him to blink.

[vampnightwing]

got my implanon 2day feeling like a #girlboss.

tw for hormone health related stuff but I had my implant replaced last Friday (I know Implanon is very hit and miss for a lot of people but it's honestly been a godsend for me. Dysphoria is minimal thanks to this little bastard. I've had it for 15 years and I wouldn't ever change, this is my 5th stick) and the first three days were amazing, the nurse was great, it genuinely felt like the easiest replacement I'd ever had

except the guidelines for the placement of the stick have apparently changed in the last few years, so instead of sitting in the nice little pocket of scar tissue that I've built up over 15 years, it's now sitting in a different part of the arm

reader, it started to move on Tuesday and I have not known a moment of peace since. Literal searing red hot ember stabbing the inside of my flesh if my muscle so much as thinks about twitching. I'm going to chew my arm off

TW - abuse? Unsolicited sex action

(I don’t know if I should consider this abuse and i need help with it; i also need to vent)

(He’s my boyfriend)

he came inside of me without my permission

please tell me i’m not wrong on feeling sad, he said it was because i always said no so it was expected

he mentioned the fear he saw on me the first times he asked

i said “and what did it matter to you?”

today was my last day to move out to the other college, i gave it up because for him, he would have broken up with me cause it would be on another state, so i decided to stay and keep the plans of moving in with him, we could get married and shit

what a great fucking day for him to do that

i gave away a position on the best college of latin america for that mother fucker to simply get all the trust i had in him and stuck it up his ass because he just “like the sensation” and “before your implanon (we used condoms then) it was bad” but now he really wanted because of “how good it is”? He KNEW he was going to cum, HE KNEW HOW I NEVER WANTED IT BEFORE, HE FUCKING KNEW AND WENT FOR IT ANYWAY

“You don’t know how difficult it is to control it, if you knew” YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO CUM YOU SON OF A FUCKING BITCH, YOU KNEW YOU FUCKING KNEW

i’m so fucking dumb, how could’ve i have done that?

[rita]

im thinking of going on the pill so that i can have my period less please tell me what u think of it and if it helps etc like does it cause bloating? what side effects did u experience? which one are u on? weight fluctuations? i want to go on it primarily to have my periods less but the birth control aspect is nice too. right now i have regular periods
