Hello i have the birth control implant bar and it makes me have my period alot for a long time, i had it for maybe 3 weeks? and now i'm super bloated
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effect: Changes in menstrual periods including heavy bleeding are common side effects of the birth control implants. If bleeding is very heavy see your doctor for a blood test to make sure you are not anemic. If this problem does not resolve in a few months you may need to have the implant removed.
