diegonest and the implant

[Whizz19]

Hey guys this is my first post on here!

I got diagnosed with endo in April after years of suffering. I have been taking diegonest for about a year and I’ve had the contraceptive implant for about 2.5 years.

I have been experiencing low motivation, fatigue, very low libido and weight gain so I have made the decision to remove my implant.

I don’t know if I should stop taking diegonest as well…

I would like to be pregnant in a few years time but I’m so worried about infertility. I am also worried that if I get pregnant soon, I won’t be able to afford to keep the baby/worries that it might be my only chance!

has anyone else struggled with this?

Can I ask, why do you take both Dienogest and the Implant? I found that Dienogest has been causing me depression and irritability but not sure about the implant.

I can be on contraception that isn’t an ingestable. I’ve actually had my implant taken out last month so waiting to see some possible changes. Still am taking diengonest though. Hope your symptoms improve

Oh, I see. I was told that I couldn't do that (Mirena+Dienogest). Do you see a gynaecologist in the UK?

To be honest I’ve only actually been told it’s fine to take it with the implant by a doctor. My gynaecologist put me on diengonest also being aware I had the implant in. I’m not 100% sure about the coil. Yes I’m in the UK
