Important Info About Implanon

[Bloom]

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd update you on what my Dr said re problematic bleeding (see post above). Basically she gave me 3 weeks of esteorgen (sp?) pills to build up the uterus lining and then after 3 weeks I will have a normal period which "cleans things out" and I should then go back to normal bleeding patterns. 3 days of the tablets so far and the bleeding has stopped - yay!

I *was* slightly disapointed as I was hoping to have an excuse to get the Implanon out early as I have a niggly feeling it's slowing down my weight loss (or it could be my addiction to cheesecake, cheese, and most foods!). Oh well... now I have to wait till late March to get it out...

Thanks ruth, mite talk 2 the dr bout oestrogen tabs. i have bled on and off since getting it in but it only stops 4 a couple of days then if DH n I DTD that aggravates it n makes me bleed again. v annoying but am my usual self, no depression here! also not having trouble losing weight but I have never had hormonal gains.
