writes:OkayIn the beginning of March I had the contraceptive implant. My doctor said that my periods would be different like longer or heavier and that it's all normal. Before I had the implant my periods were pretty off anyway, like I would come on 1 month and 2 weeks instead of the normal month and when I did come on it was about 3 days of blood but then I would stop for about half a day and then it was as if the blood was clotted and came out really dark brown and clumpy. I told my mum and she said that it was my body changing and stuff but thats exactly what is happening to my period now that I have the implant. So it makes me think that maybe my weird discharge before could have been becuase I'm infertile? I have tried to go to the doctor but I'm afraid that I'll sound really silly and just waste the doctors time.So my question is this, has anyone else had problems with their periods like I did (coming on, stoping then coming on weird)? And for any one who has had the implant or pill, have really weird periods like me?Thank you so much xxx

Hi
I have had the implant since april. at first my periods seemed to be slowing down. When i was on i was really light and the blood seemed to be brown i thought it was because my periods were stopping however the past couple of months i have been on every two weeks and this last time i seem to be heavier and the blood started off brown n clumpy. About the sixth day that i was on i started bleeding normally and had really bad period pain. I dont think you should worry everyone is differnet and the implant effects them in different ways apparently you will be irregular for the first year n its ment to settle after that.
Hope that helps you
Bee=]

The implant is a type of hormone and will affect your period scheldule. If your periods begin to get annoying you can go to your GP or young persons clinic and ask for the pill which they can give you while you have your implant to help your periods become regular.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 April 2008): Hey, Ive been on the implant since the 5th november 2007, and well it's the start of may now and my periods are still mucked up. some times i come on for like 3 weeks and it's almost everytime brown stuff, and then bleeding, then brown stuff again but for ages.
They said it should have all calmed down by now, but it's still really quite bad. It makes me think should i get it taken out but then i will have other problems lol.
But i spose there is good sides of having this implant, but i just wish my periods would sort there self out.
But dont be afraid of going to the doctor, i went because i had a really blocked noes, and if you dont think thats not wasting there time then...lol.

 i have very strange periods too and im on the pill i come on very heavy and then maybe stop for a day then come on light then heavy again. this is more then likley the pill working with my body. but dont worry about wasting the doctors time if you think you may be infertile then see the doctor. although you being infertile is highly unlikely because your having periods, thick discharge is common and irregular or strange periods are also common on the pill or with the implant but if you have any concerns talk to your doctor your not wasting their time. i hope this helped.
