| Constant bleeding? Should I get progestoren? |

I've had implanon for approximately three months. I got my period a little late the first month, then a month went by, and I had a 16-day period. Now I've had a week break, and it's starting again.
It's really getting me down...I can't really have sex with my boyfriend, I'm grumpy and sore, and it just sucks. Should I go on the mini pill to regulate my periods, or should I just let it try to settle down on my own? I'm going to see a doctor on Monday, so I'll get an opinion from them, but I'd like to have a couple more opinions before I go in.
Thanks. |

I know you're going to a doctor so this isn't exactly what you'll probably want to hear, but because I have no experience with this issue, I always suggest that people follow the advice of their doctors. Your doctor will have seen everything from no periods to nonstop bleeding, so they will know what helps others- whether it be waiting the problem out or taking something to supplement for a little while.
Good luck.
I used to be on the mini pill before my implanon. They are made from the same hormones, so the way you'll react to the mini pill is the way you're reacting with the implanon. If anything, you should take the pill which has estrogen.
I had a month-long period, so I went back to Planned Parenthood to see if I could take something to stop it. They put me on the pill (microgestin) to help regulate my period while my body is adjusting to the implant. After I'm done this month's pills I'm going to stop taking it and see if I still have issues with my period lasting forever. | |
