A member asked:

Well ive had my period for 12 days now and this has never happened before i'm on the implanon birth control and i was wondering if that is whats causi?

Yes: Implanon can cause irregular and sometimes prolonged bleeding. Usually this problems go away after you have had the Implanon for 6 months or so. Best wishes!
