What Causes Prolonged Period Despite Being On Implanon?
Question: I am taking implanon a birth control that last for 3 years. Currently I am haveing my period for about 3 months. It is very light but annoying. Is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Side effect of implanon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can understand your concern, though.
Your symptoms are most probably a side effect of Implanon.
It is due to the hormonal imbalance cause by Implanon (containing hormone).
It may change your menstrual cycle pattern and causing heavy or light period.
As you are having spotting since last 3 months you should confer with a gynecologist and get yourself examined for the same.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
Good luck.
Regards
