A member asked:

I had the implanon removed a month ago and have not menstruated as yet, is this normal? do i have anything to worry about? and would it be wise to get the copper iud inserted right now?

Dr. John Berryman answered

Implanon ?'s: Implanon(progesterone analog) can cause delays in ovulation which will delay onset of menses. Obtain a serum HCG test, and if negative, a "copper IUD" would be a sensible choice.
