The implant

Anyone else that’s on the implant for birth control, have you ever or have you experienced any irregular bleeding? Like, every other week but very light? Or should I be worried? I’m 5 months postpartum. Is this regular or should I meet with my doctor? Before I got pregnant my period was irregular and irregular bleeding wise. I’ve never had this birth control before so I’m just wondering if anyone is experiencing this or has experienced this before.

I had the implant for 3 years! I had very inconsistent cycles for a while and then sometimes I would get a period and then not get a period. But it’s always best to ask your doctor! And always make sure you can feel the implant in your arm to make sure it hasn’t migrated!

Yep with Nexplanon I didn’t bleed at all for years but this last time they gave me Implanon instead and I did have on & off spotting. It’s very common but if you’re worried there’s no harm in going to get checked out!

I had my Nexplanon put in September and was fine with no bleeding up until this past month, it was every few days for about 3 weeks and now I'm on day 8 of continuous bleeding. I had Nexplanon a few years ago with no trouble but this is new to me

Absolutely fine, I've had the implant on/off for about 9+ years and my periods were very inconsistent. Most the time I would go months without them, then I had very light bleeding for a few weeks. That's my fave part with the implant where I didn't bleed lol but I know someone who it made bleed for months so they had to have it out x

This time I have off an on spotting… I wouldn’t be too worried about it. It’s more annoying than anything.

I’ve had the implant for 10 years in total. Every year has been completely different. Sometimes I have regular normal cycles, sometimes I have irregular cycles, sometimes they are heavy and sometimes they are light. Sometimes I will go months without a period. It’s all normal I have spoken to the doctor about. She brought it up actually.

Thank you everyone! I was thinking the worst but thanks to y’all I think I’m just trippin 🤣😂

@Jacquelyn it’s okay, I think we all go through this panic 😂

The implant made me bleed for months straight. I was on it for 6 years had it back to back.Went on the pill and periods became regular. Went on the iud after a year of being back on the pill after having my son and haven't had any serious issues and period is kinda going away.

I had it before pregnancy and my period was inconsistent until it wasn’t I had it in for 3 years and took it out to get pregnant and I’ve almost had my pp implant for a year. I don’t know how it’s going to change after baby bc I still hadn’t got my period back yet since having this baby (breastfeeding). I have a question for The Nexplanon users…my son squeezed my implant through my arm and now I’m scared it maybe broken in my arm. Does that sound crazy?

@Marcqualla that’s what I’m afraid of!!

@Jacquelyn I’ve been feeling it and it’s still where it’s supposed to be so idk 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

@Marcqualla that’s a good thing lol

@Marcqualla I had one of mine broken twice, it had zero effect to it, still worked perfectly fine. The doctor was impressed I was able to break it 😂
