Hello Everyone

I am a Brit living in the US and this site is awesome the US ones are just not the same, and unfriendly.

Now then smile I will try to cut this short, and add if need be to any questions, I asked my gynocologist this question and she said everyone is different!!

Has anyone on here had menopausal symptoms will on Nexplanon the implant in the arm, I have not had a period since I started it 3 years ago and have all the peri-menopause symptoms, according to the Gyno, but because I have no periods I have nothing tio gage it on!

I have just had blood work done waiting for feedback, pap swear was clear just a yeast infection, I did have a FSH test 6 years ago and was well up the scale I forget what number but it was up there.

Symptoms

Sore boobs daily but not all the time.

Tired and not interested in anything.

Nipples do not hurt but feel weird (no changes to them, look and feel the same) doctor did a phsyical breast exam and said nothing to worry about, except my old friends the fibrocystic family Urghhhhh.

Gyno thinks my hormones are wacked and off scale.

I want the Nexplanon out by the Gyno said to leave it in (expires Dec 2014)

Sorry lot's of questions and symptoms am I losing my mind rolleyes

Ladies next time I am coming back as a fella xx
