i went to the family planning clinic at my local doctors to get my contraceptive implant removed. it had been in for about a month-2 months and i was experiencing low moods, weight gain, heavy bleeding every day, constantly feeling dizzy and light headed, and being sick every day. i went to the clinic and asked her to remove it and she refused to because she finished in 10 minutes. she asked me what i would do if i got pregnant? surely as the advisor she should be guiding me and giving me options. she also asked what was i going to go on if i came off this. Surely it should be me asking this question. another unprofessional thing said was if I lose any more weight I’ll die. i was 102lbs, 5”3. i weighed a lot less before i got the implant and was still alive, as she is not a dietitian she has no right to say this. i am now stuck with a piece of plastic in my arm that i still don’t want, all because this lady wanted to go home.
