A member asked:

I got on the implant bc when my son was 3 weeks old he's now 5 months & i've been bleeding since he was 9 weeks..what can i do to stop bleeding??

Side-effect: Irregular bleeding is the most common side-effect of the implant. Discuss your options with your doctor. Removal is the simplest way to stop it. You might also be a candidate for estrogen therapy. Hope this helps.
