Nexplanon & Hypothyroidism? (Page 2)

I got my nexplanon implanted a year and a half ago soon after I received news that my thyroid was swollen and been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. There is not history of this in my family and have never had any problems like this, I'm still pretty young being 26. I've had 3 kids and my weight has always be stable until now. Hypothyroidism is ruining my life and I believe it might have something to do with the nexplanon because this all started when I got it implanted. Thoughts??

I am going to have mine removed for exactly all the same reasons. I thought it was in my head but I started researching and now I know it's common.

Many women, including myself, have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism after receiving Nexplanon. People with no family history of this disease. Merck already lost one massive lawsuit concerning the previous drug, Implanon, because of its detrimental effects on women. Go look it up. Money alone will never solve these lifelong problems that we women face because of this drug that the FDA approved. Remember Thalidomide? We just want other women to not have to deal with the physical and mental problems that were thrust upon us because our doctors said it was 'safe'.

Hi Holly. I just received my diagnosis and #metoo, NO FAMILY HISTORY! I believe Nexplanon is the cause as my thyroid has been tested regularly in my CBC panels. TSH levels were normal in February and off the charts in August. I ended up in the hospital with a low heartbeat and heart rate and that’s how my diagnosis happened.

I've had the nexplanon for almost a year now. After giving birth I waited about 7-9 months to get it and I was losing weight but then I started not losing weight. I'm active in the gym and daily and somehow I'm gaining. I've always had problems with fatigue and a lot of symptoms that parallel hypothyroidism. I felt that I've had a.d.d. undiagnosed since I was a child. That being said I've never had problems losing weight before. I gained a lot during pregnancy (over 80 lbs.. 10/10 do not recommend lol) but before the implant I was already down 45-50lbs. I just went to my new doctor the other day and he suggested a thyroid test. I totally forgot that I had the implant for a while and wish I would've asked him if there were any links. I do hope that my previous issues get addressed but if I come back from the tests with a hypothyroid diagnosis I'm gonna lose my sh*t. My family does not have a history of this. I do have fibromyalgia, anxiety, and arthritis already. I'm glad I found this thread. I'm going to make an appointment to get it removed asap.

You can’t have hypothyroidism if you have a thyroid it’s impossible
