Why does implanon cause spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPU override: Your Central Processing Unit is being overridden by the implanon's hormone "feedback" to your pituitary gland. As a result, it's "keystrokes" to the endometrium are often sporadic, resulting in the computer to "freeze" (spotting). This in no way, will prevent the overall computer (body) from functioning,. Implanon will just continue to prevent a "virus"(pregnancy) but the keyboard may "freeze".
