I'm worried, why was the lady being so weird and trying to rush things?

I'm really freaking out right now, I have the birth control implant and I've been having issues with it and so I called about getting it out and she's trying to rush things and that's scaring me. I had a miscarriage while on it and I'm afraid of that to happen again, since the miscarriage it's not really been the same. I've been having periods every other week for a while now, I used to just spot every few months for only a few days and now it's a 7 day long period and I get it every other week it's still light but more than what it has been. Before the implant I'd have to take iron because my periods were so heavy and it would just take a lot out of me, I'd be in bed the whole week. I've been taking it 3 times a day lately which is more than I ever have needed, it helps but I still feel so miserable and most days I'm very weak and sleep a lot. This whole time with the periods from time to time Id get a dull pain in my right side and the other day it was hurting really bad I was sweating and in so much pain and it would like hurt bad for a few min then I'd be ok for a while and my uterus is always feeling achy. I don't know I feel like I could maybe be pregnant again and am having the periods every other week because the implant is trying to discharge it, when I got the implant they told me it causes such random bleeding because as your body lays down lining to prepare for pregnancy the hormones in the implant discharges it as it happens. I called the dr and she didn't really say why but when I told her what was going on she was trying to get me in as soon as possible to get it out, when it broke it took 4-5 calls before they'd even agree to see me and they always try and make me seem crazy and will ask if I'm feeling ok. I have my issues as so does anyone else and since the miscarriage it's been very hard. I'm getting the implant out and gonna get a different dr because this one is far too sketchy for me, I work in a hospital and I've never seen drs or staff act how these people do.

Yeah I understand doctors that don't do right. I had to wait over a month for my blood test results and for a recommendation. Getting the implant out and finding a new doctor would be best. Maybe something went wrong with the implant during your miscarriage.

Is it Minera? There is little chance of that on rupturing your Uterus since it is plastic but it needs to be removed for sure if you had a miscarriage. Sounds like it is out of place for sure.

I have nexplanon implant in my arm, since the miscarriage I've had 2 periods a month until the last few months now it's every other week.

Geez how the hell did you get pregnant on that? Maybe switch to an IUD.

Online there's a much bigger list of drug interactions than the one I got at the dr and when I was sick a few of the medications made it less effective and I got pregnant, they explained to me that when I got off those medications the implant got back to full strength and did it's job which sadly included removing my baby. I don't want anything I can't just stop, like now I can't take a break from this implant because it's inside my body. If I'm on the pill I can stop for a month if I need to just for a break.

Wtf that drug needs to be taken off the market. I'm so sorry to hear that. Definitely time for a switch.

Yeah it does. I've read over in the uk that a bunch of women got pregnant on it, most came down to it being inserted wrong. I figured this would be great because i didn't like the other options but it's been horrible

I use Paragard and really like it. My insurance covered the entire cost and it isn't hormonal based. And since no hormones when you do want to get pregnant you can start trying the day the doctor takes it out.
