Bleeding with contraceptive implant..

[Kimwright23]

Hi ladies. How long did your cycles takes to get back to normal once having the implant ? I had it in November and my periods are now as if this month are all over the place?

Sorry its unclear do you mean you had it out in November or had it inserted in November ?

So you are having unscheduled bleeding with the implant, which is very normal. If it is troublesome, you can sometimes take the combined pill on top of it for a period of time until it settles. It should however settle over time. What bleeding you may have is unpredictable. it should settle out by around 6 months - so around now. This should have been part of the counselling you received when the implant was inserted.
