Can The Effectiveness Of Implanon Be Altered After The Use Of An Anesthetic? Have Tender Breasts, Fatigue And Weight Gain

Can the effectiveness of Implanon Nxt Implant be altered after a general anaesthetic? I had Implanon inserted in October last year and had no issues at all ( had my period when it was inserted but hadn t had a period since) and had a general anaesthetic in January. I had intercourse about 2 weeks after the surgery and about 10 days after that I started spotting but no real bleeding . Since then I have been feeling nauseated, experiencing extremely tender breasts, fatigue and weight gain . Am wondering whether the Implanon could have failed as a result of the anaesthetic?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

I really dont think an anesthetic can effect how the implanon works, they are separate things and they both work in different ways. As for why you have your current symptoms, well I am not quite sure why you are feeling the way you are, it could be a result of whatever procedure you had done which required the anesthetic and it could be that it your PMS.
Anyhow take a home pregnancy test and that should give you your answer.

I hope this answered your question.
