Etonogestrel

Question: What are the side effects of the morning after pill? i have had the Etonogestrel Implanon (inplant in the arm) for a little over a year now and haven't had a period in that time. But for the past 2 weeks ive been bleeding. Is this because i had to take the morning after pill? The period started the day after i took it.

Answer: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=side+effects+morning+after+pill Why would you have to take the morning after pill while you're on birth control anyway? Because that's what Implanon is...

Question: Anyone familiar with etonogestrel? I've decided to try out Implanon, a new contraceptive. I read that it is made of the hormone Etonogestrel, and I'm not familiar with it. Does anyone out there have experience with Implanon, or know what this hormone will do, as opposed to estrogen? I have been on the depo shot for the last year and gained 30 lbs and bleed sporadically. I was on the 3 month pill before that, and i bled constantly. I often have ovarian cysts, and have had 2 c-sections, one being emergency. I've always had irregular bleeding, more so after having children, and I'm hoping with time that the implanon will help out alot.

Answer: Yes, I do. The Implanon will not regulate your periods, and will in fact cause a lot of irregularity for the first 3-6 months. You could have bleeding every two weeks, or every two months, but this is normal. Implanon is "Progestin only", so some women notice that they have much fewer side effects than with normal BC. Less migraines, fewer issues with moodiness, etc.. Although some may have more symptoms. It is very individual, but a lot of women truly love Implanon. Just know that you will ahve a lot of menstrual upset!

Question: Does taking Acnotin10 affect contraception? I am currently taking Actnotin10 and using the contraceptive implant, Implanon (-Implanon is a long-acting progesterone-only contraceptive implant that contains the active ingredient etonogestrel.) Is anyone aware of any interactions between the two drugs? Does Acnotin10 lessen the contraceptive effects of this form of contraception?

Question: What exactly happened to me last night? I've never had something like this happen to me. I was fine it was late at night and i was on-line just randomly surfing the net. Suddenly i felt something like dread and fear..also like i was supposed to be upset at something but i didnt know what. I kept avoiding the feeling and was trying my best to act like i was ok. Then when it was time for bed i broke down and started crying....a lot! My boyfriend asked me what was wrong and i told him i had no idea. It kept up for an hour or more until i feel asleep. When i woke up i was fine again. Are my hormones messing with me? I am currently under a birth control that was implanted in my arm called IMPLANON (etonogestrel implant). I've had it for roughly a month now and for this past month i haven't stopped bleeding from it. I was told it is normal.... Is there something wrong with me?

Answer: What your describing kind of sounds like an anxiety or panic attack. I get anxiety attacks over nothing, i being feeling anxious & worried out of no where & over absolutely nothing. The feeling of dread and fear sounds like a panic attack, possibly a very mild one? You should read up on the possible side effects of your birth contol implant, you can either google this info or call your doctor or local pharmacist.

Question: Anyone tried this? .Implanon? Implanon, made by Organon International, is a single-rod contraceptive subdermal implant that is inserted just under the skin of a woman's upper arm. The 4 cm by 2 mm Implanon rod contains 68 milligrams of the gonane progestin etonogestrel which is released over a three year period. Implanon was first approved for use in Indonesia in 1998, was subsequently approved for use in over 30 other countries, and has been used by over 2.5 million women worldwide. Implanon was approved for use in the United States by the FDA on July 17, 2006. Any personal experiences?

Answer: I've had an Implanon rod in for a year and a half. I've had no bad side effects, and found it easy and painless to get put in. It's much more convenient than the Pill, as you don't have to worry about it for three years, and I also don't get my period, which is good for me, as I have a family history of endemetriosis, and this decreases my chances of developing it, as there is no uteral lining to build up. I've had no problems with it at all.

Question: Implanon (Etonogestrel Implant)? How Well the Implant Works? What are the Advantages of the Implant? What are the Disadvantages of the Implant? Can it be used while breastfeeding? How long after the implant has been inserted should I wait to have intercourse? Is the insertion painful? Or Removal? Which one it's better Implanon or Mirena?

Answer: Implanon and Mirena are very different. Mirena is an IUD, which is inserted into your uterus through you vagina. Implanon is an implant that's surgically inserted into your upper arm. As for which is better, that totally depends on you-- your preferences and needs. Here's some information on Implanon, and I provided a link to information on Mirena to help you clarify your decision. Implanon is a thin, flexible plastic implant about the size of a cardboard matchstick. It is inserted under the skin of the upper arm. The implant contains progestin. Progestin is a synthetic hormone similar to the progesterone made by a woman's ovaries. It works in two ways. It keeps the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation). It also thickens the cervical mucus, preventing sperm from joining with an egg. Results of long-term studies will not be available for some time, but researchers estimate that Implanon will be up to 99.9 percent effective for up to three years. Certain medicines and supplements, including the antibiotic rifampin, St. John’s wort, certain anti-fungal drugs that are taken orally for yeast infections, and certain drugs used to treat mental illness, seizures, or HIV, may reduce the effectiveness of the implant. After taking your medical history and giving you a physical exam, the clinician will numb a small area of your arm with a painkiller. The implant is inserted under the skin. Insertion takes only a few minutes. Protection against pregnancy is immediate if you get the implant during the first five days of your period. Otherwise, use an additional method of contraception for the first seven days. Do not have the implant inserted if there is a chance that you are pregnant. Be sure to tell your clinician if you think there is any chance that you are. After insertion, be sure to tell any health care provider you may see that you are using Implanon. The implant should be removed when it is no longer effective (three years after insertion) because although it stops working, it may interfere with menstrual cycles. It can also be removed anytime earlier. The clinician will numb the area with a painkiller and will usually make one small cut to remove the implant. Removal usually takes just a few minutes, but it generally takes longer than insertion. A new implant may be inserted at this time. Advantages of the Implant ability to become pregnant returns quickly when use is stopped can be used while breastfeeding can be used by women who cannot take estrogen gives continuous long-lasting birth control without sterilization no medicine to take every day nothing needs to be put in place before vaginal intercourse A woman should not use the implant if she cannot put up with irregular bleeding cannot put up with loss of her period has a sensitivity to the ingredients in it has had or might have breast cancer is or might be pregnant Some implant users may need close medical supervision if they have blood clots in the arteries or veins a history of liver disease, such as hepatitis, abnormal results on liver function tests, or benign or malignant liver tumors a history of severe depression unexplained bleeding from the vagina Possible Disadvantages of the Implant Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect for women using the implant. Periods become fewer and lighter for most women — in time, they may stop altogether. Some women will have longer and heavier periods. Some may have increased light spotting and breakthrough bleeding. However, these side effects are more common in the first six to 12 months of use. The longer a woman uses the implant, the more likely she will stop having menstrual periods. About one out of three implant users have no periods after one year of use. Less common side effects include acne change in appetite change in sex drive cysts on the ovaries depression discoloring or scarring of the skin over the implant dizziness hair loss headache nausea nervousness pain at the insertion site sore breasts The implant cannot reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Latex and female condoms can. Warning Signs for the Implant Serious problems are rare. Tell your clinician immediately if You have arm pain. You have bleeding, pus, and increasing redness or pain at site insertion. You have a migraine or other severe headache. You have a new lump in your breast. You have severe pain in the stomach or abdomen. You have unusually heavy or prolonged vaginal bleeding.
