Hi, I have the implant in my left arm , this is my third one and I ve had it in since April. It s been fine and I ve been having regular periods until now, I ve not had a period for the last 6-7 weeks and this week I ve had some small blood clots, I ve just found some in the bath, but I m still having no period. Should I worry?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Irregularity in menstrual cycles is common while being on hormonal contraceptives.
So the clots you are having could be due to that.
And possibly that will continue with menstrual flow.
If not, once go for pregnancy test.
If the test comes negative, no need to worry.
Possibly your menstrual irregularity will subside.
If passage of clots continues or excessive bleeding occurs, consult gynecologist once and take tablets to control bleeding.
Take care.
