I had DD2 7 wks ago via c/sec. I can't have anymore children and had the implanon inserted while I was in hospital. I have been bleeding ever since. It looked like it started to slow down a bit 3 wks post baby but then came back, its pretty much like I have my period on a heavy day and have to wear pads. After I had DD1 I only bled for 2 wks.
Do you think I could still be bleeding because I've had a baby or do you think it may be from the implanon? My GP did tell me the implanon doesn't suit everyone. I like the idea of not having to take the pill everyday but this bleeding is driving me nuts. If it is from the implanon I hope it stops soon. I dont think I can take months of this.
when i had the implanon i had bleeding for three month bafor i told the doc to take it out, i wouldhave a breake for a day or two then the bleeding would start again, it just doesnt agree with everyone, if you have it taken out would you consider an IUD, i had a copper one put it and it was great becouse it has not hormones in it you cycle naturally and i think they last for 5 yrs.
Good luck and ihope it stops soon for you
I go back to my GP next week and I will see what he says. He wont have a problem taking it out if I want him too. I am pretty sure I should've stopped bleeding by now if it was still bleeding from giving birth. Like I said it slowed down at 3 wks to the point where there was hardly anything then came back with full on bleeding.
I got an implanon put in when DD was 6 weeks old. I was still bleeding before I had it inserted, stopped bleeding for 2 days then bled for 2 weeks. Then no bleeding for about 4 months (while I was breast feeding) then got a period about 2 weeks after finishing BF. The only thing I don't like about it is I have irregular cycles which is a shock for me coz I've always been regular as clockwork. When I do have a period I have some bleeding, either medium or light flow for about 2 weeks then I can go for up to 42 days so far with nothing. For me though I like it coz I don't get any period pain with it. I've just started to learn to put up with the 10-14 days of bleeding when I get a period and always being prepared with things JIC I get my period.
I had Implanon inserted when DD2 was 9 months old, and I had well and truly stopped bleeding post-pregnancy. I started bleeding heavily every two weeks for two weeks. As we have completed our family ,and I can't take any other form of contraception DH volunteered to get a vasectomy and I had it removed.
I know that individual results vary, but I would never recommend it.
I had implanon inserted about 6-8 weeks after ds was born. I bled for 8-9 months straight barr a couple of days here & there. Sometimes it would be heavier than others, but it was constant. I also gained weight & developed some serious mood swings. Needless to say i did have it taken out after 9 months. My Dr told me when she put it in that there was a chance of bleeding for up to 3-6 months for some ppl.
If u can stick it out for that long with the bleeding & hope that it stops after a few months then keep it in. I would be asking about other forms of contraceptions if i were u tho. Maybe ask about mirena. It last for 5 years. I was supposed to get that one about a week ago but changed my mind coz ive been reading some stuff on here about it that other ladies have said.
Still bleeding, maybe from the implanon??
