Normal And Regular Periods Since Implants, Prescribed Cerazette Course. Would This Cause Surplus Progesterone In The Body?
I got the implant in September, and my periods have been pretty much constant (9 days long and every 3 - 5 days) since then. I contacted my GP, and she prescribed me Cerazette to stop the bleeding on a three month course, and after that see if my implant has sorted itself out. Wouldn t this send too much progesterone into my body? I assume this is a tried and tested method but it s not been explained to me very well.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Implant acts locally on uterus and its systemic effects are negligible. Usually implant takes 3 to 4 months to starts its action on endometrium. As your doctor has prescribed medications for 3 months, you can continue them, which helps to control bleeding till implant starts action. This will not result in excess progesterone. You can take those medications.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
