Is It Normal To Have Spotting While On Implant?
Hello, I have been worried because I m on birth control I have the implant in my arm, and it says it stops your period, I got it put in in January, and I m still having periods. I m always spotting. I m just wondering is it normal, or should I possibly go get it taken out?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Spotting can occur with hormonal birth control, it is one of the possible side effects.
In some persons the spotting occurs soon after starting the particular method and then decreases but if your spotting has been continuing for months, you may need an alternative form of birth control.
I hope this helps
