What Could It Be If Having Prolonged Periods After Having Birth Control Implant?

I had a baby 6 months ago and soon after had the birth control implant. I ve had normal periods other than about a month ago I started ny period normal but it hasn t ended yet. I ve been bleeding for a little over a month now and was wondering if it s normal? My family has had a lot of problems with cyst on ovaries. I ve even had it but went away with birth control pills. What could this be? I would go to the doctor but I have no insurance. Could yoy give me an idea what this is?

Hello and welcome,

This is most likely related to the birth control implant. They tend to cause irregular menstruation.

Such irregularities tend to correct spontaneously after some time.

Other causes may be cervical lesions like polyps or erosions or fibroids that will need evaluation if the bleeding does not stop.
Try tablet tranexamic acid twice daily for 3 days 12 hours apart to temporarily stop the bleed.
Hope this satisfies your query.
