A member asked:
After 20mths no bleeding on implanon started irregular bleeding. doc said use ponstan then if continues use the pill for 3wks. how will the pill help?

Stabilizer: The bleeding occurs because of irregular buildup of the uterine lining. The estrogen in the pill will stabilize the lining so that when you stop it the lining will shed off more completely and resolve the problem.
