Why Am I Getting Long Periods?
this is my sixth month with the implanon and it just seems not to be working for me like for others. I'm always bleeding. My periods are about ten days long and through the month i still bleed. So im wondering if im doing something wrong like maybe drinking often?

Hi,
Implanon is a hormone progesterone containing device. It is known to cause menstrual irregularities (scanty or profuse, irregular delayed or absent). The side effect differs in every individual but the contraception is achieved. So don't worry. In case of doubt, get consultation by the inserter.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
