A member asked:

My period was 7 days late and instead of blood i have gooey brown discharge. i had the implanon put in about a month ago. what does this mean? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It probably has no: Meaning. Your menses will be different due to the hormones in the device. What u explain is typical. Hopefully it will soon become less frequent then stop. If you get persistent bleeding the addition of Estradiol 1 mg is cheap and can help but hopefully will not see this problem. Gd luc.
