Hi, I have the implanon in arm for 2 years and keep experiencing excessive bleeding. It starts, lasts for 3 weeks at a time now for atleast seven months. I might break one day to a week and then it is back. I had something different this past 2 months. I had 2 week period and stopped 6-3 and last tues I had some bleeding and stopped before morning. Then yesterday, I started back up and not only this, it has this dead bad smell to it and extreme flow and clotting. I have also severe cramping especially left side, severe sleeping, depressed, and lack of energy. Is all this usual for anyone on implanom?
Hi, Thanks for the query. Implanon can present with menstrual irregularities. And usually they will get corrected in few months. But as you had excessive bleeding with clots, pain abdomen etc. better to consult gynecologist once and get examined to rule out the possibilities like ectopic pregnancy. You may need one ultrasound. If no abnormality is noted, then the bleeding could be due to hormonal effect only, and you can take additional dose of hormones to control the bleeding. For more details you can ask me through
