I got a contraceptive progesterone implant placed in my arm. A couple of months later I noticed some hairs around my nipple that I'd never had before. I didn't think much of it and plucked them out.
I had that in for 18 months and swung between late periods to longer periods spotting and abdo pain. So I had that one out as I kept thinking I was pregnant and it drove me wild. We decided to have a baby but then I got into uni so a few months later I had another one put in.
This is when it got bad. My periods stopped completely and I was in agony all the time, I started getting hairs on my chin and nipples and gained weight, I started getting high sugar symptoms like sores under my armpits and in my groin and under my boobs. Then I had bloods taken and had elevated testosterone so they sent me for a scan on my ovaries. They were very large and very cystic. They diagnosed me with PCOS. I then started bleeding dysfunctionally once for 40 days! I was put on blood clotting meds and became folate and b12 deficient. This extended bleeding went on for months. So they did another scan yup PCOS. Also 6 months after having it put in I lost about 40% of the hair on my head it was falling out in handfuls.
Then in November after I'd moved house I noticed my cycle started to get more normal and I was getting fertile cm mid month. I dint think much of it. Until I miscarried in Feb of this year not knowing I was pregnant. We worked out I was no more than 4w2d. But there was tissue coming away. Back to the docs I went I took a preg test and it was faint pos. week later bloods drawn and they were at a 1 so neg.
They ordered another scan and I got my implant removed which had bent in half in my arm and was damaged not not as effective. A month later the scan came around and just-like-that poof ovaries normal size, not polycystic not implamed not displaced anymore..... had bloods done and testosterone normal!
Make of it what you will but I did not have pcos before it and I don't have it anymore!
They were so large before they'd moved higher than they should have been and they were worried about one of them twisting.
Now they are normal, I have no bleeding issues, all the hairs have fallen out, my moods are better and im off metformin and dont get that soreness in my creases anymore, I'm sweating less a lot less. my hair on my head is thick and healthy again. I'm normal again. It's like a miracle.
