Can Implanon birth control cause dyspareunia(painful intercourse)?

Hello everyone .
Reason I'm researching all this myself is because I've just had my implant removed after 3 n half years ( Yeah I know couldn't get a bloody appt for 6 months !!) . Do not feel stupid people !! This implant is the devil !! I have endometriosis so I just figured that was getting bad again hence why sex was so painful for all that time . I have had it out for literally about 2 weeks ago now and my God I feel so much better . I literally used to cry after an attempt at sex because I thought it was just my endometriosis and thought I'd never enjoy sex . But I am so bloody happy because 2 days in a row now I have had sex -completely pain free ! Which seemed impossible before . If I had sex then it would take days to recover from the pain ! But yes pain free , I am so much wetter it is an incredible difference . I thought I just wasn't a 'wet' or self lubricating person but I'm now sure it was the implant . Get rid of it ladies it's more trouble than its worth !!!

I got the nexplanon put in on 12/5/15, at first everything was great but around the second month I noticed I was having pain during intercourse and also I stopped having a period. The sex drive was high at first but once I started having pain it went down. During sex I couldn't get wet, so I tried lubricant but sex still hurt. So I just got my nexplanon removed 7/13/15. But I'm still scared sex will be painful, but hopefully getting it removed will help.

Hello I got the implant too and I have painful intercourse and I don't produce enough lubricant . I do think it's the birth control, because before I never had that problem.

I really hope this feed is still active as I've just found it and hope that it's the answer I've been looking for.

I'm 17 years old and have been with my boyfriend for almost a year. I hadn't had any sexual partners before I'd met him and didn't sleep with him for the first time until November last year (which would've been my first time). I'd got my implant in October/early November, and we'd decided before it that we'd wait until I'd gotten my implant before we'd have sex as I wasn't on any other form of contraception.

Since having sex for the first time, we've had sex no more than 10 times due to the pain being absolutely unbearable :-(. It's horrible; burning and stinging, during and after intercourse, with no explanation ?

I'd always expected my first time to be sore (after hearing my friends share their experiences, etc.), yet knew that the pain I was experiencing was more than just losing my virginity.

I also suffer from vulvodynia, which probably doesn't help, so have always assumed sex would've been sore, but I'd hate to think that it was my implant causing this pain, or adding to it.

We've tried so many different lubricants, different positions, etc. and I've visited my doctor so many times to try and get some help. The doctors I've seen have came up with 2 solutions: "keep having sex and the pain will go away eventually" (which is near enough impossible as it's too sore), or that the pain could be "in my head" :-(

I'm so sick of it, and although my boyfriend is so understanding and has never mentioned it being a problem, he must be sick of it too. It's not fair on either of us, we're both young and it's my first serious relationship and I'd hate this affecting it :-(

I'm hoping this is my solution. Any advice would be great? Thanks :-) - S x

I got the nexplanon implant back in July of 2015 and only had 1 period in august but no bleeding at all since. I started noticing severe vaginal dryness in February 2016. Sexual intercourse has become extremely painful due to my inability to self lubricate. I am sure that this is a direct result of the implant as my husband and I have always had a great sex life through the birth of 3 children. I am going to have the nexplanon implant removed and I will post again to let other women know if changing birth control methods actually improves my current condition.

Has anyone had any symptom relief after removing the implant. I'm 23 and married. I haven't been able to have sex without pain for 2 years. I finally realized it was my birth control and removed it. I am terrified of sex and even more terrified that even without the implant that the pain will never go away.

I've been experiencing the exact same issues. I got my Implant inserted in march and the first month or so it was amazing. Then the problems really started. It got to the point where I couldn't have sex because it was so painful and my insides felt ridiculously sensitive. My period lasted on and off for about six weeks and my moods were awful. I basically wasn't producing any natural lubrication and tried K-Y Jelly for a while which then eventually started to irritate me, it felt like it was burning me. I had to trial the pill with it for a month and it was supposed to settle the bleeding but after the first strip of pills the bleeding started again. Its now July and I've just had my Nexplanon taken out. It has been a complete nightmare, I've only had it out for a few days but the nexplanon has actually made my body almost fear sex because I assume that I'm always going to be in pain. I would advise anyone to stay away from the Implant, its not worth all the hassle.
