I finished my period on Friday last week. I was bleeding for about 2 weeks...this is not unusual for me since being on the implanon.
Yesterday I got my period again...6 days after I finished my last one. And it's not like it's just light bleeding either. It's moderate to heavy again!
I like the convienence of the implanon and the fact that because at the time of getting it I had a health care concession so it only cost me $5 once and that's it for 3 years. But I don't like the unpredictability of my period. I have gone for as long as 50 days without any bleeding, but then I have the occasional time where it's like this where I bleed for about 2 weeks, then stop for a week, then bleed for another 3-10 days. However, usually this is followed by a large number of days with no bleeding.
I keep forgetting to record when it starts & finishes so I haven't been able to see if there is any sort of pattern or not.
I usually buy the biggest box of tampons and will go through an entire box for one period. Before I was on implanon, one big box would last me 2 or 3 periods.
I'm not planning to change my contraception because as I said, I like the fact that it cost me $5 once and that's it for 3 years.
I just wanted to have a vent that's all.
