See below: Unscheduled or prolonged bleeding is common with Progestin-only contraceptive implants and may or may not decrease with continued use. Approximately 15% of U.S. patients discontinue the implant due to prolonged bleeding. Your gynecologist can suggest several medications which may stop the bleeding, including supplemental estrogen, among others. SEE> http://bit.ly/1JywEkK
