A member asked:

I have been on an implanon for 7months and starting at 4months i have not had a period i have just have weird redish brownish discharge is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthrough bleed: That's probably menstrual tissue and blood that is breaking off called breakthru bleeding. Implanon thins the lining of your uterus out and in many women takes their cycle down to spotting or no period at all (amenorrhea).
