Jadelle Contraception Side Effects (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Has anyone had the jadelle implant and had bad side effects? I got it done a weeks ago and have started light bleeding over the last few days and it wont go away as well as my skin breaking out.

REPORT

The only side effect I have had from jadelle is not going for my monthly period since insertion (December 2010) I have had headaches before insertion so the headaches I have here and there I just consider them as normal, I have had mood swings,acne,no libido before insertion of jadelle, so whether you have jadelle or not some of the side effects written by most of you one still experiences them. I chose jadelle because the loop, pills and depo made me bleed non stop, for me jadelle is number one. Just try other contraceptives and weigh which one is the best for you otherwise I believe all contraceptives have side effects just choose the one with less effects or else convince your partner to have vasectomy.

I just had jadelle implant inserted late december now having first period which is up to day nine and seems to be a common side effect. Will this settle down over time or can you take something to help stop this. Previous i only had 3-4day menstrual cycle very frustrating.

Hi , I'm 34 yrs with 2 kids. I have had the Jadelle contraceptive in since Feb 2011(see post no:3) and have noticed side effects.
-weight gain (10kgs)
-BAD PMS (hate it with passion)
many hard times arguing with my partner over nothing and making him angry to the point where he cries or wants to leave me.
But I get PMS like 2weeks before my period starts?? Wierd.
Then when it starts, I get really hungry all the time.
Bleed for at least 3weeks. Look bloated all the time. Fluttery tummy like baby kicks.
- feel like crap, don't have energy.
-DEPRESSION only lasts like a week but its hell!! Blaming yourself for everything..
Saddest times during depression stage. But once it's over your like "what the hell was I depressed about"?
I think in January just gone, was the baddest depression I had... Ever!!! Don't want to experience another. I think it comes every 3 months and lasts a week.
-Sore left arm sometimes have to rubb it because its numb.
-tender breasts all the time.
-during my period .. Big clots.
More....
I thought the Jadelle would be good, no worries at all with it. I mean I'm not pregnant so that's a good thing, but the side effects .... Not worth it!
You don't want to live grumpy all your life.
I am going to get them removed. I would want to go au natural and use condoms but my partner don't like them.
Maybe back on the depo or back to the IUD.
I will keep you posted......

Have had jadelle in for over 3 months now and only had a light period 2 weeks after insertion. And now I have a brownish discharge with pinky/red blood throughout it. I also have mild cramping on my right side with bad random shooting pains up my spine of the lower back. 3rd day today with this light little bleed. Yesterday I had very bad gas and felt bloated. On my 1st day of the discharge with blood I also woke up with a flu and sore throat. Feel very tired. And today I noticed I had eaten a lot? Is this just a light period or is it implantation bleeding? Anyone??? Brown discharge with pinky/red blood. Sometime little dot/clots with clear discharge?

Hi I have the same problems. I had my jadelle put in 3 years ago and have been bleeding non stop since it was inserted. Ive lost a ridiculous amount of blood, lost so much weight, have not been eating right for 3 years, have had a serious breakout of (pimples) Im not use to, from never having them at all to having a face full now is not good. I have itchy problems as where rods sit. but worst of all my blood has now started to smell, and quite bad!! I have seeked medical attention from gp's etc, and have been given medication to help slow down bleeding or stop it?? It has not worked for the past year and a half, and can not afford to get it removed as $187.00 is a ridiculous price to pay when its my life at stake..... Can anyone help with suggestions on what I should do?? There are a few more complications ive had since the jadelle but will state the above for now....

I had the implant inserted about 9 months ago and also had no libido after about a week of insertion, but it only lasted for a week or two, then it was very high. sometimes I go for 2-3 months with no period then when it does come..it last for 10-12 days, but not heavy and the blood is sometimes brown and dark red (is this normal?), but no foul smell. Besides the above i think the implant is great in that i don't have to worry about popping a pill every now and then.

Hi all, I've been on jadelle for about 4 months and I've gained a few pounds but not too much. The problem is I can't lose any of the weight even when I workout 4 days a week and walked 5 days a week. I also watch what I eat. Should I look at getting this removed?

I hve had Jadelle for a year now and didnt get a period for six months,Bloating etc now i have a period every few days..its intense and really have no choice bt to keep it at this stage.I dont recommend this contraceptive and who knows what else it does to your body..But not getting pregnant overrides all the bad side effects for me.

Hi my names hayley im 18 years old. I was on the jadelle implant since the 18/7/2012. It took a few weeks but I started getting really bad periods lasting 3 weeks and super irregular, I could have my period for 1 week it would stop for a few days then come back twice as heavy for 2+ weeks. My skin was spotless before I got the jadelle within weeks I had bad acne, no matter what I did, tried different facial wash, moisturises etc. My moods were horrific I could cry at the drop of a hat, id fight with my partner over nothing and often feel so upset and unhappy I couldnt handle myself or anything around me I couldnt control my moods. I put on 17kgs and have stretch marks where I didnt before this is the biggest ive ever been. Id say to my boyfriend I know its not possible but I feel like im pregnant! I got headaches backaches you name it. The jadelle was THE WORST thing to come into my life if I had of read the forums there is no way I would have got it but from what my family planning doc said it would be the best thing to happen to me. TODAY I got my jadelle taken out before reading these forums simply becauae of all the syptoms I was fed up. I already feel better and am contemplating writing to the news regarding the jadelle and how many other women have gone through the same thing as me. The jadelle is banned in many other countries and is now being handed out in 3rd world countries.. 3rd world!?!
when I told My doctor at family planning my syptoms she made it out like it was just me and the weight gain was my own fault. Im active and always watch what I eat since gaining weight so it wasnt my fault! She also acted suprised as if she'd never seen the syptoms before. My blood pressure is also up 155/90 which is bad! DO NOT GET THE JADELLE there are more people with the same outcome then there are with good outcomes. It needs to be banned its not healthy and its not ok.

I have had the jadelle in now for two years and never one side effect that has been mentioned on here. my period is irregular about once every 3 months extremely light as it has always been lasting any from 3-7 days but i understand that is common for most contraceptives. i got it in in may 2010 6 months after the birth of my first child. i dont have breakouts of acne, i have gained weight but that was advised by my GP cause i was underweight by nearly 15kg, no pain not even when i get my period and no anxiety or feeling low or anything. would like to have it taken out though in the next year or so to hopefully have another child or 2.

i have also felt fluttery movements in mhy stomach from time to time and it feels weird, it just feels like a babu in yoru stomach kicking away its a really weird feeling and i no im not pregnant, as reading all these thread i now know im not the only one who experiences this, when i was on the pill i was on that for over 5 yrs and i was happy and normal and had interest in many things, ever since being on jadelle my periods are back to normal but i dont like the acne and my skin is so horrible now when i look in the mirror i feel so ugly and down and my skin is shiny and oily and breakouts on my body. I feel like i have fatigue, no energy and dont eat during the day, i feel tired and some days feel like i dont want to get out of bed but i have to becoz i have two little children to run around and take care of. I get cranky alot and grumpy and mood swings, i seem to snap at my partner at times and start arguements over nothing, and at times i feel like im real fired up and stressed out about things easy, i noticed i stress alot more and that me and my partner fight over stupid little things, i have no sex drive at all, b4 i got pregnant with my son i felt like i was having a good healthy sex relationship now it has gone down hill and gone low where i dont even feel like I have a libido, i am intimate maybe once a month sometime 2 times a month and feel sorry for my partner missing out he must think i dont want him anymore, it gets me upset, some days i just sit here feeling down in the dumps and have no idea why i feel like this, i feel like jadelle is taking over my health and i dont feel as healthy as i use to, i am going to ring Family Planning on Monday to make an appointment to get it removed. Reading phamplets and the time it sounds like the best thing and right choice and i wish i had found this forum site before i got it down now im really considering on going back on the pill, with having 2 wee kids u dont have on planning anymore children for 5yrs away and that was the good thing knowing i didnt have to do anything and that id be safe for 5yrs but the side effects just make you want to come off it, i was on the pill for about 5yrs or more before having my childrem, even after having my first son i went back on the pill until we planned to have a baby and since having my second son i didnt want to risk getting pregnant and at the time jadelle sounded like the best option now im regretting it and after reading everyones comments i now know im not the only one experiencing all of these, and that there are so many of you out there going through what im going through and now i really can not wait to get it removed and go back to the normal happy self i was and hoep my kin gets better and i hope my sex drive returns back and make my partner happy.
