Hi mums, I had an Implanon inserted back in April and while I was looking forward to not having a period for 3 years (45 yrs old) I get this awful brown “kinda-like-a period” discharge every 4-6 weeks and it lasts about 10 days! Before I got the Implanon my periods were only 5 days max, now this is happening! Arghhh, and the worst thing is I’m seeing someone new and have been caught out a few times with this “surprise” as there’s no consistency with it. I feel just so embarrassed. I’ve spoken to my GP and she says it takes time to settle, could be several months.
Does anyone else have this issue? Driving me crazy.

I bled non stop with the implanon! I had to take it out
I also bled nonstop with the implanon. I did get it to stop when they put me on an oral contraceptive at the same time, took it like you normal would for 3-4mths and then stopped the pills and never had another period again until I had it removed 3 years later. They told me at the time that it would help regulate the hormones better.
The only reason I never got another one put back in is because it started to affect my mood and made me overly emotional
