Contraceptive Implant

So back in June my boyfriend and I decided that it would be best for me to get the contraceptive implant before we started having sex. We've mostly been using condoms in addition to this (just to be extra safe) but there have been a couple of times where we haven't. Since I got the implant, I have had light periods that last for two weeks at a time, but I'm beginning to panic as I'm running very late for my period. I'm sure it's just a side effect of the Implanon, as I have not had any pregnancy symptoms, and it seems unlikely that I would get pregnant. I'm going to take a test tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has had their period suddenly stop while on the implant? Thanks in advance :)

Had implant a few years ago and no period for over 6 months. I think that's seen as one of the benefits Smile

My periods stop completely on the implant, that's why I have it.

I have had the implant (Nexplanon) in for just over 20 months now and did not have a period until the 18 month mark. Mine stopped completely, it was great! That is until a few months ago when I started bleeding lightly constantly..... now I have an appointment to have the implant removed and go back on the pill....

Thanks for the reassurance :) I was mostly concerned because I had periods to start, and they suddenly stopped.
