I had the contraceptive implant fitted about a year ago now. Now, I have had an on/off diet since September when I started uni, but a lot of the time I was on the diet, and I have pretty much stayed between 200-210 in this time. I know, I have obviously not helped myself by being so on and off, but I definitely think the weight should have dropped a bit more. Also, recently, I have found that the weight is very slow to come off and fluctuates majorly.
In the last few months, my breasts have been SO sore too. Especially in the morning when I get up, or when I take my bra off. Usually this means I am going for a shower which helps soothe them, however they can hurt for ages and I'm talking real pain where I need to take a painkiller!! Its like a really achy feeling.
I have never had problems with spots and I have noticed lots of pimples on my forehead and around my nose recently too.
Anyone think these three things (weight/spots/sore breasts) could be related?
I havent had a period for the last 6 months because of the implant which I have loved but I have just had one which was so painful in my back and stomach.
I'm wondering if I should have it removed?
My bf can't have children, medical reasons, and so although I would obviously move on to another form of protection, I dont feel it is so necessary to have the implant. I originally got the implant as I was going to uni (how bad does that sound?!) and I wanted to make sure that if the condom split, I would be covered, rather than having to take a pill.
I dont like the minipill as it doesnt work if you are sick!
Anyway, any advice?!
