you seem very young to be on that kinda thing. Periods can be irregular in teens the first few years anyway. I would see a doc. Perhaps getting something else for the moment would be better

Tisha-1 agony auntYou should have been given some literature when you had the implant. Where is it? And did you read it?

Did the doctor tell you to call his office if there were certain side-effects? Do you remember what those are?

Look, I'm a nag on this site about medical issues. YOU are your best advocate for your health care. YOU have to take control of it; YOU have to pay attention to the things that are happening inside your body. Your doctor is responsible for assisting you in this process, but YOU are the one who knows what's happening.

Here are some links that you should look at and bookmark them so when you run into a problem with your birth control again, you have some credible, actual medically reliable resources. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/birth-control-implant-implanon-4243.htm

You may wonder why I am giving you these links to read, instead of reading them and then explaining them to you. It's because you are the one with the implant; YOU have to know what the side effects are and what to expect. You have to be your own medical health expert. Time to start is now.

Good luck!

I don't have much experience in this, so I can't really say why it's happening.

I think you should go to the doctor. This could affect your ability to have children, so why would you risk it?
