Hi, so previously I asked about this and what I was (and still am) experiencing, I had the contraceptive implant places over three weeks ago and have ever since been on my period, I’m thinking about getting it removed and trying a different form of contraception because this has made me really ill over the pass few weeks, I have no energy, tired and drowsy and have been sick multiple  times with awful pain, (I’m not sure, this was my parents idea but, this could be due to inherited anemia, a side effects that my mother had when on her cycle before getting the implant- which was successful in her case.) However, I was looking into the injection (depo?) would it be likely that I would react the same or is it completely different because I can’t find anything online, and if this is the case if I had the same side effects could I use the pill with it? I’m completely lost as no one else which I know has had any of these or similar experiences, any thoughts or ideas would be highly appreciated, thank you smilexx
