Has anyone been told their implant (Implanon, Nexplanon) is worsening endo?

Nope but I was told that it doesn’t help because periods were extremely painful. I’ve had the coil put in as a treatment for endo as it has stopped my periods and therefore I don’t get as much pain.

Hi, I tried the implant for a while, this was before I knew that I had endo and it wasn’t a good experience, pain, random bleeding etc. It was also difficult to remove when I decided i couldn’t put up with it any longer. Everyone’s different though. Have you been offered an alternative option?
