( I was in hospital nov 2011 will tummy pain and doctors said I had a 2.5cm cyst on left ovary and the wouldn't operate till it was at least 3cm) I've got no energy and pains in my joints all the time.( feels like flu like aches and pains) and could sleep the day away! I'm a bit worried?

Hi,
You seem to be experiencing breakthrough bleeding and the efficacy of your implant may be dwindling. You should see a specialist and get a complete evaluation and get further management. You would need a trans-vaginal sonogram along with blood counts and urinalysis. You should also exclude pregnancy. Hope this information has been helpful. Take care.
