So I have the birth control, Implanon. It’s been almost a year that I’ve had it and haven’t had a period in almost 10 months. It’s really awesome and I’ve been so happy. Except, lately I’ve been having cramps and been feeling really bloated. Almost as if my period is coming, but the symptoms are 10x worse. I’m totally not pregnant, so I can’t figure out what’s happening. Anyone else with Implanon have these issues, or any other birth control. I don’t know if I should talk to my dr. or take some pamprin and wait it out. Thanks for the advice in advance ladies!!!

@Girasole: I think I would talk to my doctor. You could maybe just give your obgyn’s office a quick phone call, they might be able to advise you over the phone (my obgyn has). Good luck!

@MsCarabiner: thanks for responding. I did call my Gyn. And talked to a nurse, she told me to come in if I still felt that way after the weekend. I used a heating pad and pamprin as if I was having my period. I actually felt better after the weekend and never went to the dr. It’s been a couple weeks and I haven’t had anymore issues. Oh well lol. If it happens again, I’ll have her check it out 🙂
