I got my Nexplanon implant a few months ago. It was great. Just light spotting once a month for three months. I was fasting, too, and felt absolutely amazing. The inflammation was gone.
Then I fell off the fasting wagon for a couple of weeks. I know they have nothing to do with each other, but damn, my period came, and I’ve been on it for three weeks. I can’t stop eating. Today I had two bowls of ramen and two bowls of cereal. I’m eating like shit because I’m stressed out and in pain. I’m popping four advil once a day for the last three weeks. I have gained over 10 pounds back in the last three weeks. I’m sure part of it is inflammation from my cycle, as I usually gain about 5 pounds then it goes away when it’s over, but I know I’ve gained from the absolutely obnoxious stress eating I’ve been doing since dealing with it.
Time to go to the doctor and talk about other options. UGH.
Just needed to vent. I’m not sure why the implant went from working as I’d hoped to floodgates of hell. lol
Christ that’s gotta be frustrating.
Also, a possible reason for it suddenly acting up - the implant always takes a few months to settle into what it’s gonna do for the whole time. My GP warned me that it might be fine for a few months then all hell could rain down, and encouraged me to call immediately if that happened.
Hopefully you and your GP can find something that works for you!
I did nexplanon and the implanon. I would have a longer period. Call your doctor for a set of birth control pills. It hasn’t regulated completely in your blood stream yet. It took a few times of pills to fix the issue. Then I got it again and didn’t have a period for 3 years which is another issue. Good luck though
