What a fu#k up!

[peachybum]

Hi all,
On Tuesday I had the implant put in and now my sex drive has gone? I frigging love my job well did love my job and now when I think about men coming to see me and touching me I feel physicallying sick. I thought I would ignore this yesterday and try and get some work as I'm skint and then this happened.

Man rings - can I have a two hour appointment
Me - no I only do an hour no longer
man - ok ill have an hour
me - ok what time
man - 6.30
me - actually I don't like the sound of your voice so I won't take an appointment off you.

I have never said that to a client. I feel so frustrated with myself for being so rude. Plus there was people texting me asking my silly questions and each time I put either go Google it meaning where I am or fucking read my page again. I never swear but I could feel my blood boiling for no reason.

Is this the implant or time for me to quit?

Hi, you say as soon as the implant went in you lost your sex drive, this is very unfortunate especially as your feeling sick  especially the line of work your in.
could you take it out if necessary and see if you feel better for working?
do you normally have a high sex drive and enjoy clients?
if so you shouldn't need to quit

Id say remove that implant and try another form of birth control..the implants are not for everyone

I'd be tempted to say get the implant taken out but if I remember right it takes a short time for our bodies to get used to things.

You may have mood swings and decrease in your libido and feel nauseous but I think they are all normal.

Perhaps its time to "fake it to make it" for a couple of weeks to see if things settle down and your libido returns.

You could change method of contraception and same happens with the next one. 

Good Luck and keep yer pucker up. xx

In my opinion the pill is less harsh on the body and doesn't affect libido. It sounds like you are a bit stressed. A good thing to do when is not to answer the phone to clients as they talk remember to others. This way when in a better mood things will run smoothly. If this happened to me I would be off it Asap. Like waiting to see if things improve while prozzying that will be difficult. A guessing game will it or won't it improve but in the process clients get the off load.  Many things have side effects.

I have been on for several years the docs say maybe change but it is not for me. I could be worse off. If it is working why dabble is my view.

Can it have that quick an effect? I'm not denying that you had a drop in sex drive, I'm just wondering if the implant can really have that quick an effect, especially as they ask you to wait a week before relying on it because your body hasn't adjusted yet.

I say if it's the best option for you (and it must be as you've had it put in), leave it for a month or so. I have the implant too, I absolutely despise it and am switching to IUD soon, I have mental health issues and did express worry about the implant worsening them before having it put in but I went ahead anyway because it suited me best, then surprise surprise when I started getting a lot stressier and more irritable, they told me they were reluctant to take it out until I had had it in for three months because my body had to adjust! This was also alongside other very annoying symptoms like bleeding constantly which obviously affects work. They gave me the "mini-pill" to fix that but it doesn't do an excellent job. I had this implant fitted in September and I am STILL bleeding and irritable, hence my decision to switch.

So basically, depending on how sympathetic your sex clinic is, they might try to encourage you to wait a bit longer. I do agree you should probably wait just in case, but don't wait as long as I did! If you decide to switch, have a chat at your sex clinic and make it known that mood changes and sex drive are your top priority, they will give you info on the options that are the least likely to alter those things.

Get the implant removed, i was on it for 2 years or so , its absolutely horrible,i would bleed unexpectedly,it also caused me to get reoccurring BV, it changes so many things in your body that its not even worth it , i'm on the pill now and i am so much happier with it. I would never ever get the implant again.

I know that they're not for everyone, but think IUDs are great. My first one dislodged (almost immediately), and I had slightly (20-25%) heavier periods for the first 3-4 months, but since then (December 2011) zero problems. Would certainly suggest that people consider them over anything hormonal.

From my experience with the implenon implant I would say see about getting it taken out. I was moody, irritable and depressed while I had mine in - I didn't even notice but my mother told me she'd noticed a change in my behaviour. I also bled constantly for three months - spent a fortune on pads and tampons, they kept telling me my body would adjust but it never did After I had it taken out I had a massive breakdown and was diagnosed with depression - I wouldn't blame it solely on the implant but I think it could have been a trigger. Apparently the implant's gotten a bit of a reputation now for having adverse effects on mood - my mum's a nurse and says when she mentions it people quite often don't want it because they know someone who had a bad experience with it.

Due to the effect contraceptives have on me, like mad raving loonatic bitch from hells hell.  I do not use contraception at all except condoms and I feel so much better for it.

I had the implant in 8 years ago when I was 18 and was fine with it for 2 years didn't have one period and that's why iv had it put back in as I want to work for the full month and not only 3 weeks. I can't go on the pill as I'm overweight 14 St and only 5ft4 plus I smoke 20 a day so that would be a no no. When I first when to the gum clinic they were brilliant and I was even honest about my work. The nurse who seen me was asking all sorts of questions as she was thinking about going into it. She was a right laugh. I'm normally a very laid back kinda person and I can even argue as my words get all mixed up so I end up walking away. Well today driving back from my dad's I pulled onto a road from a junction and this twat of a man decided to flip me the bird even thou he was at least half way down the road when I pulled out. So I emergency braked turned the car round and chased him. Never caught up to him as he was too fast and iv only got a 1.2 but imagine if I did. Think I would of got arrested.

And breathe.....I'm taking the whole weekend off and going to see how I feel on Monday.  If I still feel the same I think I'll ring the gum clinic and tell them and ask their advice as well. Xxxx

Having responded earlier with not a lot of experience behind me, I am realising now just how things have changed since I was younger.

I was lucky to enter whoring when I was in my 50s and well past the menopause and even before that, after I had my four children I was sterilised which made life for me even before whoring a whole lot easier.

I realise that isnt an option for the younger ones who eventually want to settle down in a normal life with a man and a family.  It makes me feel quite melancholic thinking about it.

Many people will pigeon hole us and think we just lie back and think of britain and there is no more to it.  I think even I was a bit naive re some of the things that affect the younger ones.

It has made me think and that is a good thing.  Take care everyone.

Hi,

Feeling your pain on this.  I just had the injection the other week and have had 13 days of bleeding since.  I went for a check-up yesterday and was told to give myself time to adjust to it.

I think you will probably need to do the same to be honest, I know not much help, I've noticed I've been short-tempered too and really irritable.  So I think it is a symptom, hopefully short term.

Probably best to get some reassurance from the clinic about it, but not sure they will remove it so quickly, before you have given it a chance for your body to get used to it.

Good luck!

I don't want any permanent implants or devices or shots of hormones. However, I do think we need backup - more than a condom. I am currently on cerezet, which works well for me. Another idea is the copper IUD. It does NOT have hormones and if it still gives you grief, is easily removed by a nurse. There is a version of IUD that does have hormones. Probably more effective but I'm not interested.

Not sure why I'm using my first post here but I thought I would give my opinion on the contraceptive implant. I've had mine for about 7 months and have honestly never had any problem with it.

I have heard horror stories from other people though (me and some friends got ours at the same time and only me and one other girl has had no problems) about constant bleeding, erratic mood swings, loss of libido, extreme weight gain/loss, implant becoming dislodged, even pregnancy etc. Thankfully I've never experienced any of that and I have a period once every month with the rest of the month absolutely problem free. In my opinion its the best contraceptive out there especially if you're forgetful and miss taking the pill like I used to. However I've also never had any problems with other contraception so that might have something to do with it.

Just wanted to give you another perspective and some hope that it may well settle down. Of course if you do want rid and on the quick you could always tell the clinic you've met someone and decided to try for a baby now. They would have to remove it for you then with no argument
