@Alicia, do you think 🤔 it could be different implants like we're there made, etc Probably not but a thought.. It's been relentless. i feel so drained 😪 thank you for your reply. I will get it out (when i can as seems a long wait) and take a break from it for a while
@Sarah honestly have no idea. I've asked health advisers before when getting them and been told there's not telling how your body will react each time. Which is crazy to me because you'd expect them to be made the same? Release hormones at the same rate? My body the same one so why the wildly different reactions? No clue! 😂 I'd get it out if I were you, bleeding that much is draining, I feel for you.
I had the same inplant for 9 years with no issues at all then after my first baby it made me bleed every 2 weeks and my hormones were all over the place. It never settled down and I had to have it removed. Pretty sure it just didn’t agree with me one my body had changed post pregnancy and childbirth x
It's so strange you wouldn't think it would take so long to settle down.. God only knows I have made a gp appointment that's in nov & then will get put on the waiting list for removal..
So I've had Nexplon implant for most my adult life. My first one I had no periods for 3 years. My second I had constant periods (similar to what you've described). The third I had periods every 3-4 months. My fourth I had periods every month. I'm on my 5th on and only had just had my first period pp however I have been EBF entire time. In my experience it's a total pot luck as to what happens with the implant or at least it has been for me. Maybe try an alternative for some relief then try another at a different time to see if you react differently?
