Is It Normal To Have Breast Tenderness Followed By Light Period A Month After Being On Implanon Contraceptive?
I have been on the implanon contraceptive since mid December 2012 and haven't had a period since mid January 2013 not even spotting or colored discharge. And all of the sudden I started having breadt tenderness and then light period bleeding. Is anything wrong/ should I expect this to continue.

Hello
Implanon is a progesterone containing hormonal contraceptive. Menstrual irregularities are very common with its usage. Prolonged amenorrhea, scanty periods are due the progesterone contraceptive action. Breast tenderness before periods is also due to progesterogenic action.
