Is there any way to reduce bleeding on implanon contraceptive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irreg bldg common: Irregular bleeding is common on implanon--it's a trade-off for very effective, easy, safe birth control. If it's bothering you to the point you're thinking of having it removed, ask your dr about possible treatments (sometimes other hormones added). Other possible treatments include Ibuprofen (2-3 tablets 4x/day may be helpful--take with food).
