Hi, i was just wondering if you could help me because ive been on the implant since february and ive been on my period 7 times throughout june and this month and i dont know why?

Over time you will tend to get no periods with the implant, but in the meantime this kind of unpredictable bleeding is annoyingly common. These are not true periods but just irregular shedding of the uterine lining. The hormones in the implant suppress ovulation and cause the lining to thin down so this bleeding should eventually stop.
