symptoms no conclusions. help?

I have been suffering for the past three weeks from quite a bloated stomach in the evening and after eating, but now its getting to be all the time, I've gained a little weight too, which is unusual for me. For the past two weeks I have been plagued with a daily headache with some dizzy spells, and my thyroid swelled up last week it went down after afew days. My stomach has also been incredibly sensitive, and my vaginal dischage has changed. I'm feeling more tired then usual and have been relying on some caffiene supliment to help me through the day.This is all very strange, but all the symptoms are far to general to draw up any real conclusions, so i didnt want to go to the doctor with this yet.


Also, yesterday it was very hot and I couldnt deal with it and kept sweating heavily, feeling sick then these continued as I left college early but I also had a stomach cramp which was just a dull but stabbing pain which flared up every so often, it died down, but did happen again during the evening when I was at work and I also had a very bad hot flush, where I had to support myself.


I'm on the implanon implant for birth control and these symptoms can be linked to it but i havent had any of these symptoms before and I've had it almost a year, my periods completely stopped a little over 6 months ago which is nothing to worry about and I know my chances of pregnancy are incredibly slim but i dont know what to do with all this.


Anybody had a similar experience or feel they could shed some light?


many thanks x x x

Welcome to the board lilslinkster.


The best advice I can give you is to call your doctor, especially since your symptoms can all be related to the Implanon that you are using.

I went to my doctor, he very quickly gave me tablets for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which fits in well with most of the symptoms I was having, and hopefully he got it right so I can start sorting all of this out and making my stomach go down. I'm grateful for your urges to see a doctor because it gave me the push I needed and may well have sorted out my problems. thank you very much x x x
