Hair Loss And Implanon

I got the implanon back in August of 2015. Everything seemed fine at first and I had the unpredictable periods for a bit but they went away. Well my biggest side effect is hair loss. Yes it is a side effect, I've done lots of research on it. Some people don't think it is but for me it's a bad one and I know people who have this side effect too from implanon. My question is has anyone else experienced this? If so, how long did it last and what supplements did you take to fix this problem?

Hello, Hope! How are you?

That isn't a normal side effect of this contraceptive, as reported by the U.S. FDA. The typical ones are listed as usually including insertion site pain, irritation, headache, irritability and irregular bleeding.

Hair loss, however, is a sign of hormonal imbalances, which this can definitely cause in some women. So, if it's severe, it could be that it's not the right contraceptive for you.

Have you informed your doctor?

I haven't consulted the doctor but I did read about the hormonal imbalance. I'm seeing a doctor this week and most likely getting it taken out. I'm dealing with a lot of the side effects and I just don't think it's worth it. I've looked up other forms of birth control and it doesn't seem that any of them are going to really work for me.
