A member asked:

22y.o. on jadelle for 2.5 years no periods. recently started doxycycline for skin now light period every 2 weeks. no other changes. is this ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Jadelle is a long term implant with Progesterone so irregular periods is common. Having no periods for several years then getting them is not unusual. It could be that taking Doxycycline changed the level of the hormone just enough to allow periods to come. You are still protected.
