What Causes Irregular Periods?

I have been having very regular irregular periods (if that makes sense) I have a period every two weeks. They are generally the same consistency and usually pretty heavy with lots of cramps. This time around I am experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms and my boyfriend is worried. I don t feel like there could be anything wrong because I don t feel like I even have enough time in between periods to get pregnant. He did start me thinking though and watching my period which is only visible when I wipe and is a dark dark red and clumpy and when it does show up on my liner is a light yellowish brown. I am on Implanon for birth control and we do not use condoms. Any insights on why periods behave the way they do, and the sudden change?

Hello,

You are facing irregular periods because of the implant. Some women experience irregular periods as you mentioned in your question.

Moreover, you don't need to be concerned about pregnancy as its (Implanon) the most effective method of contraception unless it's not expired.

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

Take care

Regards,
