A member asked:

I have been having a creamy pink discharge for approximately 2 weeks. i got implanon birth control 3 months ago. what is the likely cause(s)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Implanon: One of the common side effects of Implanon is irregular periods. This includes prolonged spotting such as what you are experiencing. Unless you are having pain or vaginal itch or irritation (which might mean an infection) this is nothing to worry about.
