Hard to know: Unpredictable bleeding is a very common side effect of the birth-control implant. A yeast infection can cause mild bleeding from inflammation and irritation. The Monistat and the applicator can also be irritating. It's hard to know which one caused your symptoms. If your yeast symptoms don't resolve, see your doctor for an exam, because sometimes it's something else.
