General Medical Question - Non Urgent - Period

[Han7777777]

Hi,

I got married two months ago and had the implant in my arm as my chosen contraceptive method. It was placed in my arm approximately 10 days before my wedding, but as my period was due around the date of my wedding I was also prescribed 'norethisterone' and told that when I stopped taking it my period would return as normal after two to three days. Since then (about six weeks ago) I've not had a normal period. I've had an on-going very minimal bleed (where a tampon isn't even needed) that lasted for about three weeks. Since then there has been nothing. Is this normal or do I need to get it checked out?

Thank you,

I think you should get it check out.

God luck.

I haven't had the implant so dont have any experience with it and you should get it checked anyway, but a friend has had it in 2 1/2 years and shes not had a period since having it in, apparently it can stop them x x

different people experience different things, there's no one set thing which is "normal" with it.

some people bleed all the time with the implant and others don't bleed at all.
I would speak to your doctor and see if they advise anything.

It would be wise to talk to the prescriber of the implant. It sounds like a normal bleed that can happen just after the implant is put in, but it is worth checking as you had the other chemical as well.

As others have said, some people have no periods with the implant, while others have normal periods (occasionally lighter or heavier than before the implant).

Because my period was due when I was getting married, and I wanted to postpone my period (as periods can still come if you have the implant in your arm).
