I'm kind of wondering the same thing as far as the excessive bleeding. I have my implant inserted this past november, I had just gave birth to my daughter 2 days before I got the implant. They told me I may have some "breakthrough" bleeding around the time of my period, oksy, fair enough, whatever. So after that I bled for about 3 weeks, but that was postpartum bleeding so that I expected. I gave my daughter November 4th a d by thanksgiving I had stopped bleeding. Okay, so I went all of December with no spotting, no bleeding, then the beginning of January I had some very light spotting, it only lasted a few days, a week tops. Then, in the middle of January I had a LEEP procedure done to remove pre-cancerous cells off my cerivx, they told me I would probably bleed for a while after that, and I did. For about a month. Then, went maybe couple weeks without bleeding, then starting spotting again. I have been spotting/lightly bleeding 2-3 weeks out of a month since january. At first I thought it had something to do with the KEEP procedure making me bleed, but they said it would heal completely within 6 weeks, so I know it's done healed up. And I've spotted for a week or 2 straight every month since january. Now, I started spotting about 2 weeks ago, that went on for like a week and half, then I stopped for maybe a day, started spotting again. Then out of nowhere the day before yesterday I start bleeding like a full on period. Does anyone know why this could be making my body act this way? I don't know how much longer I can take bleeding constantly like this.
Hiya, I got my nexplanon in on the 9th Feb. It was fine at the start of that month then I randomly got spotting and have been bleeding for nearly 3 months straight now on and off spotting and heavy bleeding. I have contacted my doctor about it and she had said that it’s usually only a month the bleeding lasts for. I dunno what to do as I do not trust myself with the pill and this obviously isn’t working. It is kind of upsetting that you get it in hope your period will stop and you can actually do stuff without a worry but you’re constantly worrying and can’t do anything because you’re bleeding. I really don’t understand or know what to do at this point.
I posted in the thread my experience with the implant (constant bleeding so went on combined pill as well as) I got prescribed some more pills but decided not to take them and ride it out. I bled for about 2 and a half weeks and now I haven’t bled since! Can’t remeber how long it’s been, maybe a month? I don’t wanna jinx anything but it’s going well so far!
Thanks for this information, this has really put my mind at ease as I have been going crazy, I even had my smear test earlier because I thought I was going crazy with mine, I have had it in for 2years and it's due out in April next year, I had no bleed the first year in a half than it all started, the spotting, the periods for 2 weeks then on and off days of bleeding, at present I'm just ready to take mind out because I'm sick and tired of it, I'm even waiting to have a scan to ensure there isn't any other cause.
The 1st implant I ever took out definitely made things go back to normal as within a week I had a normal period, but it also depends on your body as everyone isn't the same. How did it work out in the end
My periods come for 2 weeks gone for 2 weeks then back on for 2 weeks with random spotting in between. I'm currently on my longest cycle of 3 weeks of bleeding. Had my implant since 9/29/17. I have an appt for 8/16 to discuss options with doctor. I would had to keep it and take pills to regulate my period but I still have other issues the implant could be causing. I have noticed since I've been on it, I'm moody with depression that comes and go and chest pains on my left side. I'm not the healthiest but im not lazy either lol. So I'm curious as it what kind of scan are you waiting for and what symptoms have you had that you feel the need to be scanned for? Oh and I have had a constant pain in ovary area...like minor cramps but sometimes sharp, only on the left and right side, not in the middle as if a regular cycle. Almost like feeling when you are ovulating but painful. If that make sense. I last had a check up at the end of january and everything was fine. But I feel the need to be checked, ultrasound even. Idk, I'm anxious about addressing these body changes to my doctor, to the point I even thought of finding a new doctor that can take me sooner.
I've been on the nexplanon for 6 years and it's totally messed up my period first year I didn't have a period at all and ever since than I bleed constantly for like a week or two straight and its heavy and than stop for couple days start again for couple more than it's just a repeat and it sucks.
