I've have Implanon for over a month now and I still haven't started my period. I know I'm not pregnant. My doc told me he thought I'd probably have periods through the summer but they'd get lighter and lighter and basically go away until I had it removed. Anyone get the implant and then not get a period?

I've had my implanon for a year and half now. During the first 6months my period were very irregular, seemed like i was on my period more often than off. I planned to have it taken out because I'd had enough but missed my appointment. Since then my periods have been completely regular and i much prefer it to the pill as I don't have to worry about taking it everyday. It's so much easier than other contraception.
I'm sure it's fine to be irregular for a while you just need time to let your body get used to it. :-) :-)

I have had Implanon for about 3 months. I was on my period when I had the rod put in. Since then I have not had a period and was wondering if I should take a pregnancy test just to put my mind at ease. I have experienced weight gain but I see that I feel like I am always hungry so with a little discipline and excersice I think I should be able to control my weight. I only gained 7 pounds since having the implanon. I experience light headaches but I have a 5 month old daugher and 4 year old son and I am a single mom so putting the headache off on other factors doesn't seem abnormal. About the first two weeks after I had the implant put in I experienced brest soreness, fatigue, nausea, and moodiness but it didn't stick around long. So all in all I love it...I feel fine now and sometimes forget that the rod is there. Talk about a piece of mind. Once I take the pregnancy test I will be completely at ease. I hope this help someone.

I just got my implanon 6 weeks after i miscarried and i have had it for 5 weeks now. I had a little spotting before i got it and now i feel very tired and moody all the time. Is it normal for me to be like this? I also get headaches like every day and sometimes they are so bad that i cant get out of bed. What should I do? Does anyone know what im talking about and understand what im going through?

I got my implant in a year and a half ago (may o8) I did not have my period at all for over a year (July08-Aug09) but in sept I got my period. I was worried but the doc said it was normal.. It lasted about a week... then In October I got another period that lasted about 2 weeks.. And now in november I have had one for over a week.. But the periods are really weird .. mainly dark blood not heavy but not light.. just weird.. I am considering having it taken out because I dont want to have periods that last this long again. IDK.

I have had no period since starting implanon implant. That was for nearly 1 and a half years. I have now been bleeding for about 5 weeks continuosly and sometimes is brown muscusy colour and sometimes red. I had it looked into the doctor did do ultrasounds nothing showed up. I got no advise.
I will be getting a 2nd opion about this. I don't think it normal to bleed like this and I am sure it can cause you to be emnemic which is what I don't want.
Was it clarified by medical clinic you had a miscarrige?

As far as not having a period it is perfectly save i went three years on depo and did not have a period at all. A few months after geting off of it my period returned ad i got pregnant shortly after. Nt having one for months and then having one again its also normal just a side effect. I have had implanon in for about 5 months and had bleeding her and there some times for a day sometimes for weeks. My only issues is weight gain and my cramps are so much worse now even if there is very little bleeding

hey, i just wanted to say i am on my second implant and would def recommend it. I had my first one out early cos i started having periouds after 2 and a half years of nothing and it is rumoured that it doesnt last quite as long depending on ur bmi. I have had weight gain but find its up and down like a yo yo depending on how well i eat but as long as i dont pig out it slowly drops back off. I just wondered whether anyone has been experiencing sore nipples cos ive had this second one for nearly a year and my nipples are suddenly really sore, i cant even wear a bra!! Hope its not just me but dont worry bout no periods cos i occasionally bleed really lightly but i havent had a real period in over 4 years! Def right choice for me :-)

I had implanon put in a little over a year ago and my periods were a little weird, but they leveled out at about 40 days for 8 days (my normal off any birth control was 30 days with 10 days of a period). my menstruation has been light, however, I needed to be on antibiotics for a sinus infection, and my period started just days after at the normal time, but it's back to the way it used to be--heavy and crampy.
Most of the posts are normal from what I read online with Implanon and it takes a good year to get used to it. Some people's chemical make up makes the symptoms worse for Implanon and if you don't like it, then get off, but not having a period for a while after insertion is normal. The first 3 months I didn't have a period, but afterwards it starts to level out. I know that with any birth control, you need to be careful the first month you use it as the efficiency is not as good, even with the pill.
I know antibiotics do not affect the efficiency of Implanon, but a change in your period might be caused from just that. I know mine was, and I'm hoping that it will go back to normal after this one. So far I love it. I was horrible at taking a pill, and my dr. never recommends the shot as it can cause osteoporosis if used for too long of a time period.

I got my implanon about two months ago and i started my period the next month. I am still on and its been about 3 weeks now and it hasnt been getting much lighter so i dont think ill be stopping any time soon. I havent had any of the other symptoms i've heard except i have been getting more acne then im used to. Plus im only 15 so i was curious if age makes a difference in the side affects.
