9 weeks postpartum period for two weeks with implant in is this normal ?

[EmzW]

Hey everyone I am now 9 weeks postpartum today at 5 weeks postpartum I got the contraceptive implant in then week 7 I took my first period but I still am bleeding two weeks later it is normal or is it because I’ve the implant in also ? I’m having tummy cramps still and back pain

That's why I got mine removed. I bleed for 3 weeks a month and had one week off!!! So many people have the same issue. My only advice would be to give it a few more months and see if it calms down if not get it removed. Removing mine was the best decision I made. Good luck x

Hey thanks for the reply, oh really I’m hoping it’s just because it’s my first period from
Having my son and getting the implant in, but yes will give it a few months but I am not going to keep it in if I’m bleeding all the time, unsure as to what contraception to go on as I am so bad with the pill I always forget lol x x

Normal for the implant.

Try the injection - I had it for years with great success. Once every 3 months and most people don't get any side effects (way less than any other method).

It may well settle down. I've known women who had no periods at all while on the implant, which would be so nice!

On the other hand, I had continuous bleeding on it. The GP recommended I take the pill as well, just to control the bleeding.
So that could be an option for you- the implant for contraption, plus the pill (normal combined pill) to regulate periods. No risk of pregnancy if you forget it!
Obviously talk to your doctor and keep an eye out for side effects, as you'd be getting a higher dose of progesterone that way.

Thanks everyone it finally stopped after 15 days straight so I will see how it gos I appreciate all your replies ☺️

Fingers crossed for you! Makes sense that your body would take time to regulate after a baby, so hopefully things will be smooth from now on.
