What Causes Delayed Periods Post Expiry Date Of Implanon?
My implanon was due to be taken out in June (the three year mark) but heard it lasts longer. I have been having regular periods (never late) this entire last year and half l, that I ve been tracking and I never had a cease of my period the entire time. I took a home pregnancy test the day I missed my period, and two days after. Both were negative. I am now you days late, still no period. Could I be pregnant?
Implanon is type of long-acting reversible contraception, the most effective form of birth control. It inhibits the ovulation and implantation. The failure rate of Implanon is only 0.05% .
Common side effects of implanon are below: Irregular bleeding and spotting: Delayed period, dysmenorrhoea weight gain: Ovarian cysts Acne
So I think it may be withdrawal side effects. Wait ofr 4-5 days for period to come. or To confirm pregnancy by 1. Urinary HCG kit method: 7 days after missed period 2. Blood HCG level: most specific ,after ovulation 3. USG abdomen Hope this may help you/ Best regards Dr. Sagar
