Is It Normal To Have Irregular Bleeding While Having Implanon?

I have a question for a gynecologist. I have had Implanon in my arm for the past 3 years. It expired December (2013). Lately I have been having VERY irregular bleeding and this time it has lasted for 3 weeks straight. Is this normal while on Implanon, or should I be concerned?

Hi,

Irregular bleeding is quite common with Implanon and it will settle by itself even without definite treatment.

If the symptoms are severe, better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
