I'm too terrified to get implonon removed

It expired in September and I am just too scared to get it removed. I started

Can I just leave it in my arm? I have anxiety issues and just reading about it makes me have a panic attack. the BC pill so pregnancy isn't an issue. I do not want children ever so fertility is not a concern.

The only way I could get it removed is if I was put to sleep for it. I've used valium and xanax before (prescribed) and they help some, but not with something as terrifying as this. Is there any doctor that would put me to sleep for it?

It's either that or it stays in forever.

Honestly, and I know this sounds insane, but if it absolutely hasto be removed and I can't be put to sleep for it, I am considering suicide. I'm not suicidal, I don't want to die, but that's how terrifying the removal is for me.

I just don't know what to do. Someone please help me.

In my mind I KNOW it's not "worse than" getting it inserted but that still doesn't make me feel any better about it. I dont know why it scares me so much, but it does. I hate how stupid i am for this but I just don't know what I can do.

It’s not any worse than having it put in which you managed to do..

I know how the mind can be. I’m sorry you feel this panicked about it. I would schedule an appointment with your gyno and explain your feelings and see what they have to say. I don’t think it will be bad at all, but that doesn’t mean that’s what your mind is telling you. It’s possible they may agree to sedatives of some sort considering your extreme anxiety!

It's not only about future fertility...leaving it in longer than it's meant to stay in could pose serious health risks for you. Get some Xanax or Valium or smoke a joint or whatever you need to do, but you shouldn't just leave it.
