My implanon was inserted October 2010. It expired October 2013. It hasnt been taken out. I havent had a period since January 2014. I had sex February 14, 2014. Period still hasnt come. Juat started having lower abdominal cramps March 6, 2014. Does an expired Implanon delay your period?
Hello and thanks for choosing Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries. Implant if kept UN removed may delay periods or cause irregular periods as small amount of hormones may be released from it for a few more days to months. However, these are not effective in preventing pregnancy. So if you have not used any other contraceptive there is a likelihood of pregnancy. If you were in my clinic, I would first get a pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy before attributing the delay to implant. Hope this was helpful. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Have a good day.
