Contraceptive implant and bleeding Posted: 12-11-06 04:34am
I am on the implant, i have been on it
since octorber 5th 2006, Ever since a week
after getting it, i got my period, then it
stopped, but i've been bleeding none stop
really lightly. Its like a really dark
colour, it looks black on my panty liners,
yet when i wipe it its a brown-ish. Theres
no other symptons, will the bleeding stop?
is there any medicine to stop the
bleeding?

Irregular vaginal bleeding is an expected
side effect of hormonal contraception
provided by a contraceptive implant or
shot. This type of bleeding is different
for different women; some women can
tolerate while others can’t. If the
bleeding is heavy and causes anemia or you
can’t tolerate the bleeding, you might
consult your gynecologist about coming off
this kind of hormonal contraception in
favor of another option.
