Hi, Menstrual irregularity is a prominent side effect of the implant. The occurrence of prolonged bleeding after a phase of amenorrhea denotes the hormone imbalance created by the implant. Ovulation can be expected to return in six weeks since you have had the implant removed. Please see a specialist for further evaluation and treatment if the bleeding does not subside. You may need styptics and hormones in addition to blood profile and hepatic function tests. Please maintain a healthy diet, genital hygiene and a healthy weight. Take care.
