Today, I missed an important meeting at work because I was vomiting from painful cramps. Just last week I was recommending that everyone get the implant because I hadn't had symptoms in two years. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I missed my dentist appointment. I couldn't attend, because I was too busy puking my guts up due to a bad reaction to the pain medication I'm taking for my toothache. FML
Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML
Today, I learned that pregnancy makes me more prone to migraines, but the only pain killer I can take makes me vomit. So I have to choose between being in pain and vomiting for hours on end. FML
Today, I had an ovarian cyst rupture at work, causing sudden severe stomach cramps; this caused my bowels to release everything right then and there, while on the phone with a customer, in the middle of the call center surrounded by 200 other sales reps. FML
Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML
Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a severe bladder infection that has left me in excruciating pain. A month ago, I had an ovarian cyst rupture. A few weeks before that, I badly sprained my elbow. Before that, I had the flu. I think my body is mutinying one organ system at a time. FML
Today, the pills my doctor prescribed for my extremely painful period cramps apparently have a side effect; excruciatingly painful cramps. I feel like I'm being repeatedly stabbed in the ovaries with a rusty fork. FML
Today, my morning sickness got so bad that, while at the grocery store, I had to throw up in my purse. FML
Today, I fainted in the lunch line at school due to extreme period cramps, and ended up having to get seven stitches on my face. This is the third time I've fainted because of my period this year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'd say one bad "episode" like that every few years is worth it as opposed to every month. Though this one just came at a bad time...not surprising since period related issues generally are great at being poorly timed.

I'm sure the vomiting adds another layer of birth control protection to the implant's defense system.

sorry to hear that...you should go see a doctor immediately.

I also have the implant and it really does seem to depend upon the individual. It's terrible that you, and some others, have had bad reactions. I wonder if it just seems to enhance your standard menstrual cycle? Any input would be great. I used to have light to average periods, rarely with cramping. Eight months later I've only had occasional spotting after an extremely long (26 days to be exact) period about six months ago. I was told by my OBGYN that the first six months are the unknown symptoms and regulate by the end of that "trial"

I've had Mirena for a while now, my cycle is about 70 days on average now with minor spotting as my "period", if you can call it that. I do get the occasional moodswing. Recommended it to a friend and she has been bleeding ever since she got it. So yes, from person to person I guess :P The first 6 months were a hell for me though :')

I had Mirena. Twice. Loved it!

Did you have any issues when you got it replaced?

Once every couple years? Lucky you. Still, FYL, cramps suck. I've had the Jaydess IUD for about six months now, and I get cramps every month. Before, I used to get them, maybe like, once a year? But for me, it's still better than the mood swing pills I had before :D

You still had two years problem free. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

An implant for what?
