Question: I have been on my period for 3 weeks whats wrong with me!?
I am on the new birthcontrol implant "Implanon" its a small toothpick sized implant in my arm!. I got it August 2007!. It is now May 2008 and i have had regular periods and such normals since i got it, but now i have been on my annoyingly long and weird 3 week period!. Why!?!? (also i have no medical coverage at the moment, and cant go see my doctor)!. What could be wrong with me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi, irregular bleeding is one of the side effects of the implanon!. You could either put up with it or have it removed!. I have my 3rd implanon on in at the moment & with my first 2 i had no periods then after 2 years i would get my periods back & i would take it out because i felt a bit sick!. Once i gave my body a couple of months break, i had another inserted and was fine!. I have heard of other people having same problem after a year or 2!. I still love them, even if it doesnt last teh 3 years!.
Just wait it out another couple of weeks and see what happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could easily be an infection!. Is there a planned parenthood around where you live!? They could act as doctors & find your problem & I know what it's like to do without health insurance, but you really need to see someone!. Luckily we have a free clinic & Planned Parenthood in my area!.

I also know that my niece had one of those implants & she had gained ALOT of weight!.!.!.so be carefull :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com
