Have Implanon. Brown Period, Cramps, Bloated Stomach, Feeling Sick

I have had the implanon for nearly 12months, past 2 months I have had a period every week, only for a few days, it is dark brown, clotty, and causes terrible cramps, I have also noticed my stomach has been bloated (never normally bloated and not changed diet in any way) I am a healthy size 8 so can't put it down to lifestyle. I have been off food, with a constant sick feeling, but terribly thirsty.

Hello,

Implanon is quite effective against unwanted pregnancy and its failure rate near about 0.1%. Here, you need to undergo one TVS scan to exclude possible miscarriage.

Other reasons are side effect of implanon, hormonal imbalance, unnoticed uterine polyp/ fibroid, adenomyosis, DUB, pelvic infection etc.

Following initial test, you need to consult with gynecologist for next investigation and suggestive medication. You may need to use other contraceptive method if implanon causes that.

Maintain genital hygiene. Take healthy diet with iron supplements. Be well.
