i have one of these and im really worried now after the news yesterday and the failure rate, has anyone else got one? i dont know whether to change contraceptives now.

Id contact your gp hun, not sure whats happening with them now for the ladies who have one fitted? surely they will have to check/change them all after such a high rate of failings?

i would wait it out and let the frenzy die down! you might find in a week or two the stats aren't quite so alarmist...you could always use good old condoms til you know more about what to do

i had mine taken out last july terrible though the dr told me it was the most effective against pregnancy

i have it - have had it about 7/8 months, thing is i dnt want to get rid because i havent had a period since it was put in lol!

i had the implant before i had benjamin jo, and it worked for me for 2 n a half yrs and then i had it taken out in the july of 2009 and i was pregnant by october 2009 its a good form, but messed my afs up at the start, but all hormonal contraceptives do for me eurgh lol

i dont have the stick in my arm i am taking the tablet same hormones etc just in a tablet you take it staright no week gap.
i am taking it for 3 months to see how i react with it..

i have heared a doctor put it in the wrong way!! x

i have this and im also unsure of wether to contact my gp or just to leave it. i think after 8 months of having it in id be pregnant before now x

i had it in 2wice one for year one for 6 months never got preg on it . i loveed it lol

I had it in for a year....got it taken out as went back on the pill and fell preggers on that!
Id say keep it and use condoms until you've spoken to a doctor.

im on the implant have been since may i seem to be ok with it had no probs up to yet ( touch wood)
