anyone have implanon?

hello, I recently got the implanon birth control, about two months ago. I have had really random and non stop spotting. not as much bleeding as a period or anything. I've been feeings really sick, and bloated, and have been feeling movements and pain in my stomach alot. I went to this website, and people were saying they wouldn't recomend this kind of birth control to anyone, and they had gotten pregnant on it. I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend, who doesnt pull out. We figured this was okay because I'm on the implanon. I just wanted to know what I should do, because the pain wont go away, and I always feel sick, and have a churning like feeling in my stomach.

Hello,
Side effects caused by Implanon are similar to other hormonal birth control methodsand include irregular periods or prolonged bleeding, headaches, acne, weight gain and abdominal pain. If these side effects continue then you may have to get the Implanon removed.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
