A member asked:

Hello, ive got the implanon and haven't had a period in 6 months and now getting spotting/period, is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be: Implanon can definitely cause bleeding irregularities and your symptoms are most likely from that. However it would be a good idea to take a pregnancy test and possibly be evaluated for infections by your obgyn
