This should not be confused with EllaOne which can be effective within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex.[5] The more time that has passed since sex, the less effecti...

I have been using jadelle for a year nothing changed by the time I was using it I had my normal period every month but for now u removed it ever since I removed it I don't see my period an if I take apreg test it says negative worried.its been 4 months now since I removed it ## Hello, Pexy! How are you? That can be normal, since Jadelle is a hormonal contraceptive. Once it's removed, your periods may be irregular for awhile, you may also experience, headaches, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Being as it has been 4 months, you should likely consult your doctor to have it checked out. Is there anything else I can help with? ## please I have been jadelle for 5 month and my menstruation has stop,what must l do for it come?

I had jadelle implanted july 2015, and recently one of the rods started comming out.. I went to the doctor and only had that one removed.. Will its still have the same affect with just one as to having two rods?? Or can i get pregnant ? ## The nurse only put one rod in for me a year ago instead of two and I thought it was normal till now!!!!!! - a year and a half later. Somehow havent fallen pregnant thank god..... going to nurse in an hour to see if they believe me. They all think im crazy ## Hello Kelly, What a crazy story! I can't believe that one of them just started to pop out. I hope it didn't hurt too badly. According to the manufacturers webpage both containers of Jadelle need to be in your arm. The reason for this is that both of them are given a certain amount of levon...

I have been on Jadelle Implant for about 10 months, but since last month, i have been bleeding for 12-15 days. I need help. What should i do? ## My jadelle implant has moved. I can feel it just under the skin and can also see the rods when i lift my arm as if they are just underneath the skin. Please advise. ## That can be a normal side effect of using this implant, Jay. The NIH lists other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Reneee, have you had your doctor check on them for you?

Hi, iv had the jadelle in for 2 and half weeks, when I run a figure down my arm it hurts. I can feel pain when I bend my arm or if I lay my son on my arm. I can also feels like a tight string like possibly a nerve next to the jadelle under the skin. Pain only seems to be getting worse. Should I go to doctors or hospital or will the pain go away? ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, you should have it checked out, it might not have been placed correctly. The FDA lists possible Jadelle side effects as including dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms. The tight string spot that you feel is most likely an irritated muscle. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi, I've had jadell for 2y...

I've had the jadelle for a year now. It works so good! I get my period every 2 months like I'll have it for 5 days for a month then the next month I get a 5 day period then it doesn't come for a bit. Only down side is my mood swings are so annoying and the bf goes oh no Satan's waterfall is coming?? But it stops me from getting pregnant and eating alot so I don't mind hahaha. ## I'm glad that it's working so well for you. The irregular periods and mood swings can be normal side effects of it, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience dizziness, headache and weight changes. I must admit, I love how your bf refers to it…. I may pass that phrase on to my husband, he'll probably love it, too! LOL Is there anything I can help with?

I thought wow I'm lucky , ofcourse i was not lols I started to bleed a full week than stop than two/weeks later bleed another full week this carried on for two months I saw my doctor and was told its just my body trying to get use to the Implant and let it be for atleast 6-7 months (from my calculations this was about my fifth) so idid I waited a full two months and it got completely worse I bled constantly for that whole two months no breaks or anything somedays it would be verry light so ithought it may...

I am 2days late with my period. I was crampy 2 weeks ago and had light spotting that was pinky brown. I feel pregnant but have had 4 negative tests. Could i still be pregnant? ## I have also have sore breats and nipples. Urinating alot. I know jadelle has the some of the same side effects as pregnancy. ## Hello, Sha! How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Did you get your period, yet? The NIH does list these as being possible side effects of hormonal contraceptives.

How are you doing? I am so sorry about the problem you've been having. If the bleeding is that heavy that its making you weak, you need to seek medical attention. This must might not be the right contraceptive for you to use. Jadelle usually does cause some bleeding and irregular cycles, but it shouldn't be that bad. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had a miscarriage in December last year and ...

Hi? I've had Jadelle for almost 5 years now and I have still not have my period since! I have been loosing so much weight an I have really bad breakout on my face and I am to embarrassed to see a GP. Should I get it removed or is this normal?? ## Hello, Saffa! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. The acne and lack of a period can be normal side effects of it, as listed by the FDA, you may also experience headache, dizziness, irritability, mood swings and PMS-like symptoms. However, the weight loss is not normal and you need to see your doctor to have it checked out. I understand your embarrassment, but there's no need to feel that way.

Have you tried asking your PCP to refer you to someone? Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions? Are you having a problem with it? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Jadelle as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and weight gain.

Am currently on jadelle which is causing heavy bleeding and have been prescribed Norethestrone. Am worried if this will reduce the effectiveness of jadelle that I will fall pregnant since the bleeding has stopped. ## i dont think it will affect the effectiveness of the jadelle but you rather visit your doctor for advice ## Hello, Jasmine! How are you? I have to agree with Gamuchirai. If it would alter the effectiveness, your doctor most likely would have said such, when they prescribed it. it is just another hormone, very similar to what's already in the Jadelle. Thus, it actually usually inhibits ovulation, as well. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Had jadelle 4 a year & 3mnths .

You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and PMS-like symptoms. Has there been any change? If it worsens, or if the bleeding becomes heavy, you should consult your doctor. Are you on any other medications?

I am on jadelle for 4yrs now and have been having my period but last yr in October was the last time I saw my period. I keep feeling sick at a certain time of the day. I'm also putting on weight. I took a test and it says I'm not pregnant but where is my period n y do I feel this way? I'm supposed to get it removed in August this yr. That will make 5yrs I have it in. ## Hello, Shana! How are you? This is a hormonal contraceptive, so it can cause you to skip your period, according to the U.S. FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. There isn't much of a risk of pregnancy, since it is still active. Have you consulted your doctor? ## Can I get pregnant two days later after my jadelle implant is removed?

Hello I really need your help. I just have jadelle on December last year till today and I have period on January and on February till this month I didn't have my periods. Is this ok or am I pregnant? ## Skipping your period while using some form of hormonal contraceptive can be normal, according to the side effects listed by the NIH, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. However, the only way to know whether or not you are pregnant is by having yourself checked for it to be sure. Are you on any other medications? ## I have been on jadelle since 2015. But last month I had intercourse and since then have not had my period. Am I pregnant or not? Please help me. I have strong back pains.

Hi there, I've just recently come off the Jadelle 2 months ago and I haven't received my period. I get the cramps normally no spotting nothing! My tummy feels weird every morning and I'm just wanting to know how long it will take to get my period again and is this normal? I want my body back to normal. ## It can take a couple of months for your body to balance your hormones back out on its own and for things to return to normal, but if you go past 3 months without a period, you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the other withdrawal effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, weight changes and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi.
