I'm going to be making the switch from MonoNessa (pill) to the Implanon arm implant. I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experiences with it and what kind of side effects they experienced. I'm terrible at remember to take the pills, so they just weren't practical for me, but I want to make sure I'm not making a mistake as I have heard horror stories of women losing fertility after using Implanon.
View 1 RepliesMy boyfriend and I of 4 years have sex without a condom, but I'm on the birth control pill, mononessa. I take prescription pills that my doctors said would make my birth control less effective, and I had my period Oct. 13- Oct. 17. At some point from the 20th-24th I believe we conceived. I had cramping, my lower back hurts, I'm extremely moody, I'm tired, my breasts/nipples are sore, I have constipation, and my chin is starting to get a few pimples and I have always had clear skin. Last year on Oct. 13 my boyfriend and I found out I was pregnant with our first child and I had a miscarriage Nov. 3. With that pregnancy, I didn't have many symptoms, just mood swings, sore breasts, eating aversions, and heightened sense of smell. I can't take a pregnancy test until the 7th of Nov., but I was wondering if it could be possible. The last time I got pregnant, I was taken off my birth control by my doctors for an idiotic reason, and I got pregnant very quick. It was a week or two after they took me off, I must have gotten pregnant.
View 1 RepliesHas anyone heard of the correlation between the birth control implant and severe anxiety and depression? I have had the implant place in Feb, and panic attacks have started with a vengeance, everyday and sometimes multiple times in a day for almost a month. I have read articles that it can cause an increase in anxiety and blood pressure (mine his been unusually high). Does anyone else have experience with this?
View 1 RepliesI have gotten the implant in April 2015, and I thought this would help me through my periods as they were quite painful at times. I tried the pill, but since I'm already taking epilepsy medication, I didn't like the idea of taking another pill as well as them! In anyway, my periods are very irregular.. I mean, I could sometimes have spotting for a few days, or mistake it for a period because it's so light.. Then maybe, I could have two periods a month because of this! It's very annoying, as I don't even know when I'm going to have my next period, and I don't even get the symptoms i useta anymore.. It's such a pain!! Anyone have any thoughts on this?
View 1 RepliesI've been on the implanon for about 2yrs.and 9 months for 6mths I been taking both due to bleeding I missed a couple pills but stayed taking them each month last month I took them for two weeks and had a regular 7 day cycle the next month I came on my period for a day and went off the next day and still haven't came back on and it's been two weeks...confused
View 1 RepliesI am so tired of all these symptoms! When does it end? Have any of you felt like me and wished you could reach inside yourself and find the "off" switch to turn these crazy symptoms off? Sorry, feeling a little frustrated.
View 39 RepliesI have had Hidradenitis suppurativa for almost 4 years. After much trial and error I have been able to control and rarely have breakouts. At one point it was so bad and was in so much pain I thought I would have to have surgery to remove the glands. My best and only advice is remove all gluten. GLUTEN IS YOUR ENEMY. It is an inflammatory and will cause you to have break outs. Look at your diet and see how much you eat. It is not only bread and flour its also malt, barely and rye. Gluten is in so many processed foods. It is a challenge to change your eating habits and it will take a few months to notice a difference. But I guarantee that if you omit gluten completely you will see results in just a few weeks. You can not cheat everything in your diet must be gluten free at all times. You will be able to control and almost completely rid yourself of the painful cysts. I also quit smoking which seems to be part of the cause as well. Do your research on what gluten is and read all labels on the products you buy. You will be shocked at how much your food is contaminated with the stuff. Its in Chinese food, beer, most sauces, taco bell even has it in their products. I can not tell you how much better I feel and relived that there was a solution to this painful disease.
View 1 RepliesSo I had my son on the 26th and everyone has been telling me to switch to formula because I have flat nipples and the only way to get my son to latch is with a nipple shield. My doctor said that as long as I'm feeding him I'm doing great but my boyfriends mother is under the assumption that because I'm using a nipple shield I'm going to give my son bad teeth. Is this true?
View 3 Replies I remember I read somewhere that it was not the same to take a 50mg pill than half a 100mg pill.
The thing here is that I usually take a 50mg pill before having sex, I'm used to that dosis, however last time I went to the drugstore I accidentally bought 100mg pills, I am not willing to take one of those since it's the double of what I usually take (and 50mg works fine with me) but I am not sure is by taking half of those pills it would equal a 50 mg one.
I used to be on the pill a while ago and I recently decided to go back on it. I accidently took the sugar pill on my second day of having my period not realising I was meant to start taking the active pills. Can I continue taking the sugar pill or do I start the active pill?
View 1 RepliesI have been on the combined pill (Gederal) for a couple of years now but my doctor wants to change me to the Mini Pill (Cerelle). My Combined pill is perfect so i don't want to change. I mentioned that i had one migraine with visual disturbance and she explained to me that even one of these migraines is a reason to come off the combined pill. The combined Pill regulated my periods but she explained that this mini pill is now going to make me irregular.

View 1 RepliesI've been on mononessa for about 8 months now. I've never had any problems. But for the last three days I've had breakthrough bleeding in the form of thick mucus-like junk, but only small amounts. It's much less than my normal period. I've been having mild cramps too. This started a week from starting the placebo pills, which last month I skipped. My husband and I last had intercourse about a week before this happened. I always take my birth control, varying the time at most by a couple hours. If I take it at that time, we don't have intercourse. Should I be concerned about pregnancy?
View 1 RepliesI just switched from Mononessa to Tri-Sprintec and I'm trying not to worry about the fact that I haven't spotted yet (two days into the placebo pills) though I've had other symptoms of my period (gassy, bloated, etc.). Can switching birth controls delay my period? I don't want to worry myself yet about being pregnant though I'm 98% sure I can't be..

View 1 RepliesI have been taking mononessa for almost an entire month. (I have 4 pills left then the reminders). I'm still suffering from severe stomach pain and nausea. Tonight I waited til almost bed time to take it hoping that it will help some. Has anyone else been on this stuff and had similar side effects? I'm to the point where if I am taking it at night and still nauseous all day I will have to stop taking it. Other options?? I need advice. I'm seriously considering tubal ligation but I've battled my weight for the last 3 years. I do not want to put any extra pounds on.
View 1 RepliesI have been taking the brand MonoNessa of birth control combined pills for almost 2 years now, at the same time every night (I have an alarm on my phone set to ring at the time to take it). I started taking them because my periods were so irregular.
I'm not supposed to start my period until next Tuesday/Wednesday, but this morning i woke up and as i was in the bathroom noticed some watery blood on my underwear, the same kind i get the day before my period usually begins. I put a pad on and just now I went back and noticed dark brown discharge on the pad. Is this what is called spotting/breakthrough bleeding on the pill?
My boyfriend and I are sexually active, but we don't always have sex, preferring to do other things. However when we do have sex we always use condoms. This month we have not had any sex at all, again preferring other things.
I can honestly say I have never experienced this before on the birth control pills. BUT I have experienced this before I started taking the pills. I have had perfect "periods" every month that start on the same day and have the same symptoms. Currently I have 0 symptoms of what my pill period is usually like.
Like any young adult who is startled by something appearing for the first time I immediately googled my symptoms and found that a lot of other people seemed to have dealt with this before. But now I would like a professional on here to give me some much needed advice; is this normal? I am pretty sure I am not pregnant, since we didn't have sex this month and the times we did do stuff the semen was no where near my vagina. Is any birth control pill supposed to do this? This has never happened to me before. Will it happen again? And can I expect my normal period to still happen even though I'm having this stuff today?
I got the implant a week ago and have nocked it a few times. I'm a little worried that it will break. Any advice?

View 1 RepliesI have just read about a new procedure for surgery of the CMC joint in the thumb. It's a much smaller infusion, doesn't involve removal of a whole bone and is supposed to have a much faster recovery time and little loss of strength. It involves an implant called the Bio Pro thumb implant.
