On Implanon Implant, Have Sudden Onset Of Bleeding. Does This Mean That The Implant Has Lost Effectiveness?
Hello I had Implanon contraceptive implant inserted in August 2010, so it is due out in August this year; since having he implant I have not had any periods or bleeding in nearly 3 years and now I have suddenly started. I have all the symptoms of a normal period and nothing is excessive or worrying. However it is concerning me as the implant is nearly due to be replaced and now I am suddenly having a period, I wanted to know if this means the implant has stopped working?
