Hi, Thanks for asking. I understand your problem. -Implanon is known to cause irregular menses. It can be irregular, scanty,or absent for several months.& absence of menses for several months is common with Implanon. - Bloating you have can also be a side effect of hormone in Implanon /it can be due to UTI & yeast infection you are having ( which needs proper treatment ) / A rarest possibility of ectopic conception with Implanon. * So you need to get- -Home pregnancy test done to exclude pregnancy/ USG abdomen if the test is +ve or weak +ve..followed by necessary treatment. - Get Gynecological check up done & get treatment ( of both sex partners) for yeast done to relieve the infection & bloating. - Get urine check up done & take suitable antibiotics & get relief from abdominal bloating due to urinary bladder infection. Thanks.
