No periods for 6 months and then sudden bleeding (implanon)

i have had the implanon for 4 years now i get a new one on march 1,2013. i start spotting january 29,2013 for the first time. i seen it this morning and i was like what and now its more. I never had this experience with this I was in love with this birthcontrol. but no man i am second guessing it. I have 4 boys and really dont want more with a partial hysterectomy., but my husband do. i scared maybe i should shitch back to pills cus they never gave me problems other that periods. but i only bleed for 2-4 days top. What did yall find out since it has been almost a year since ur situation .

hi, I am actually experiencing the same thing! I use to have very light 3-4 day periods too before i was on the implanon. Then i inserted about a year ago and all of a sudden i started spotting...and it stopped and today it's back on again but heavy. I have been reading a lot on it...and a majority of the people who have experienced this usually takes it out because it won't stop or it's really unpredictable. I am guessing we (at least me) are having the same fate. it worked so amazingly well too for the first year. ;/

hello :) 

ive currently had the same problems with the implant, I'm on my 2nd one within 2years as my first one was put in... And everything was fine for 6 months then all sudden had constant heavy bleeding for 28days so had it took out then another one was put it...was fine for 6months but in December 2012 I had my first period in ages which lasted 3 weeks, then I didn't bleed for a month.. Now Ive started bleeding again but 4days later it started to seem I was coming off, I didn't bleed for a day now I'm back on again... Anyone to any anything that would stop the bleeding? 

Thanks :) x 

Hello. :) I got my implant October of 2011 and had my first period July 2012. when I first got the implant my doctor put me on a 3month dose of loestrin 24.. she told me the pills would help regulate me, and help my body adjust to the implant. I wad having crippling cramps and my period was more solid than liquid..if you ladies know what I mean. it was disgusting and painful. but, the three months of the pill fixed me right up. I'm still a little irregular, but it's definitely predictable give or take 2days. talk to your doctor about the possibility of taking a hormone supplement or the pill. good luck ladies. :)

i have had me implant for three years and had it replaced in the last 4 months. no periods what so ever, until today. this wories me only because i dont know what to do? my body got used to the implant for so long with no perios, so why am i having one now?

hey guys,

 

just a quick question i got my implanon around sept / oct two 2011 and in that time i have had two periods. My question is when you bleed for like 3 day does it realease an egg? what is happening when you bleed if it isnt ment to realease eggs ?

 

I got my Nexplanon last year 2013 in like November, no bleeding until now just went 2 the bathroom and blood and quite a bit WTF!!!! Is goin on? I am SO calling my doc later in the day. :( I got this thing so I would not have a period WHY!!!!! :(

hi, was serching on google and this came up.

im 19 years old and im having kind of the same problem.

ive had my implant for just over a year now, maybe a year and a half and i have NEVER had a period on it untill 11 days ago.. to which its still continuing , i cant get a docs appointment untill monday and they keep dissapearing suddenly then appearing again a couple of hours later.. what is happening to my body? :'/ please help?

I am completely late to the party but I'm currently experiencing the same thing. Nexplanon has been horrible for me so I'm having it out on Friday after almost a year on it. Basically these past three or so day I started having really random extremely heavy period with thick clotted blood and a lot of period cramp. I know there's no way I'm pregnant as I haven't been with anyone in over a year but it's a little unnerving as it stresses me out and makes me self-conscious. However, from what I've read on the internet this is a very normal side-effect of the implant it seems which is a relief but I'm probably having the coil fitted in instead as that seems safer and less prone to side effects.

I got implanon DEC 19, 2014 but I never get period ever since until now. So I was thinking. I had head each.breast pain and all over the body etc. I don't know I got crazy... Bcoz I get nervous..

Well. I got on this sh*t Feb 2015, and have been bleeding for 6 months straight.. ben going back and foeth to the doctor and of course nothing! they gave me medicine after medicine and im not taking anymore cause its not good for my health sooooo im getting it taken out and im not getting back on birth control! So, the implanon is the worst thing ever invengted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I've had the implanon for four and a half years now (2011-2014 and 2014- present). I also have irregular spotting and heavy bleeding after about a year and a half. When it gets really heavy and lasts for a while I usually go to my obgyn. He gives me the pill form of the hormone and it's always stopped the bleeding. Doesn't even give me a high dose of the hormone but usually takes 3 weeks to stop after starting the pill form. Its also normal near the end of your 3 year mark to get heavy bleeding. I usually just change it to a new one by that point.

Hope this helps.

With me I bled for montgs

Hi, I have had my implant for around half a year now and all of a sudden starting from Jan 1 till now (Jan 3rd 2016) I have my periods, it all started with very bad nausea and stomach cramps and I'm worried that they will start again as I have not had them for quite some time.

I first had my implanon inserted march of 2013 I've been going about 6 months without bleeding & then 3 months bleeding this has been going on ever since. My mood is all over the place and I find I get tired a lot and massive headache . I would have taken it out and replaced it but its long term and it has done me so well. I get it taken out very soon so I may do an injection contraception that lasts 3 months. Its amazing when I go the 6 months without bleeding I usually have no problems but as soon as it starts its very heavy for the first month and then slowly decreases. So a little up and down but I can't complain as it has done its job!
