A member asked:

I am 19 and come off my period 5-6 days ago yesterday i started bleeding again but it's only light? i had unprotected sex but am on implant

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone contra: All progesterone only contraception have as a side effect abnormal bleeding. This could be bleeding every day, no bleeding at all or anything in between. The bleeding you describe could be entirely normal with the implant.
