Why does your contraceptive implant hurt after more that a year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have pain in your arm, you should see your health care provider for an exam. Pain at the site of the implant deserves a checkup.

Is it normal to have a itchy feeling around the implanon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Itching usually means that the tissue inside your arm is still healing. I had mine injected 3 weeks ago and it still itches. Unless the injection site looks infected there shouldn't a problem. Go back to the doctors if it still itches 3 months in, and get it checked out.

You have had the contraceptive implant this month and you haven't come on your period is this normal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your question is a common question, after I had my birth controll planted the (IUD) I did not get my period for three months now I get it every month with light spotting the reason you may not get your period is that the IUD puts out slow release hormone to thin the viginal lining so a fertalized egg can not inplant it self, two years is verry uncommon yes but the best thing you can do for your self is to check with your doctor or even go to a porfessional OB/GYN. Also having the IUD you should check your self every month to feel the stings( DO NOT PULL IT OUT YOURSELF!) doing so could rip your cirvix! Have your doc do it. Your IUD should be checked every six months with a Pap at least once a year.

What are the results of the contraceptive implant bending or snapping?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can bend because it's made from a flexible plastic. It needs to so as not to restrict movement in your arm. Don't worry though it won't snap inside your arm as it is held inplace by tissue. I'm sure it would break had you same MAJOR trauma to that particular par of your arm. Chances are slim

Can I be pregnant while on Nexplanon and have had a period for 3 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is extremely rare to get pregnant on the contraceptive implant. It is one of the most effective methods of reversible contraception. If you are on the implant and bleeding, it is very unlikely that you're pregnant.

Can you get pregnant if some rods of norplant are left in your arm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since at this time the rods have likely released all hormone, if it's been more than five years since the rods were implanted, it makes sense to use alternative birth control if you wish to avoid pregnancy.

What happens if you are pregnant and have the implant in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a very very low risk and there has only been a few cases where women with the implant have became pregnant .

Implanon is concidered highly effective, less than 1 out of 100 woman using Implanon will get pregnant each year. Using a condom along with the implant make the risk of pregnancy even less and reduces the spread of STDs.

Implants and injections are very effective methods of contraception and are proven to be 99% percent reliable in preventing pregnancy.

yes...................

This is one of the safest method of contraception. But no method is 100 % effective. Very rarely, this method fails and you can get the pregnancy. You are advised to go for pregnancy test at the home only. Say every two weeks, when you do not have the menses.

How soon can you get pregnant after implanon removal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I've read it can take a year for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after removing Implanon. It also varies for different women considering age and hormones. I had mine removed on January 27, 2012 (a little over a month). I spotted a week before removing it, I don't know if you'll consider that as a normal cycle. Two weeks after removing it, I spotted once and noticed a brown mucous discharge for two days but only after wiping. We are wanting a 2nd baby but not stressing too much about it. I'm thinking if we want another baby, it has to happen before I'm 33; I'm 31 now. Im anxious to know if I'm pregnant during the first month because I drink a few beers on weekends and I take digital x-rays and work with nitrous oxide. I've taken about 4 pregnancy tests- all negative. I turned the answer to this question into a blog but I figured it'll be useful to some of you. Thanks or reading and Good Luck to you if you're trying conceive.

Do you get you period when you have an implanon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can have it. Usually it's very irregular, sometimes it's light spotting or heavy flow.

About the worst part is never knowing when you're going to get it. It just kind of happens.
it varies between different women.

i myself only had irregular bleeding for the first month and a half and since then i havent had a single period.

but my friends also got theirs put in at the same time, and they got it done because they didnt want a menstrual cycle anymore, but it didnt work for them. it just worked as a contrception for them.

ask your doctor about it

Does meth affect the contraceptive implant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I had been on Yasmin (Yaz is the generic) for almost 4 years when I started taking 16mg Suboxone daily. Got violently sick every single day as if on schedule. Tried everything, changing when and how I take both meds, nothing worked. Gyno switched me to Yaz, then Loestrin, then Tri-Sprintec, and got nauseous and vomited badly every single day. Now I'm only down to 12mg suboxone and have been off of all birth control because obviously need the suboxone much more. I just took my 1st dose of Tri-Sprintec (thought I'd try again, as I have extremely heavy and painful periods of course, on top of everything else) and am hoping to handle it better? THERE IS NO DOCUMENTED LITERATURE/FINDINGS ON THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THESE TWO MEDICATIONS! I've told both doctors, both seemed uninterested. This is a huge problem, and with my own background have assumed it was the bupe in the suboxone causing the problem. I'd be very curious to see if someone on subutex would have the same reaction (guarantee they won't).

Is it bad to have a period for 2 weeks continuing while on implanon birth control?

User Avatar

Asked by AlyssaNicholson

i wish someone would answer this question too. Don't worry you aren't alone on this one. I have only had one shot so far and i get my second one this afternoon. My first period was for 13 days, then the second month it was lighter than i have ever seen it and it was on and off for 5-7 days. finally month three and i haven't gotten it yet at all. I'm scared about how my body is reacting to the shot but since i get it from a nurse idk if i should ask her these questions or wait another month to see my doctor. if this question doesn't have an answer by then i will let you know what my doctor says!

Best of luck
