Irregular periods : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

I am 42 years old and have had the implant for 5 years. My period is so irregular and I am wondering if it could be the implant. Sometimes I would have my period for about 14 days with a break of 2-3 days inbetween. I do not want more children.
