Implanon

[Blondie101]

Heya i recently got d implant done an my period stopped straight away i was just wonderin if dat was normal???

If you are in the uk then you will have had nexplanon. It can stop your periods. From the nexplanon website:

Because the Nexplanon contraceptive implant contains only a progestogen and no estrogen, you may experience some changes to your normal vaginal bleeding pattern. The following menstrual bleeding pattern changes have all been reported to occur with progestogen-only methods of contraception such as the Nexplanon implant:

• No bleeding
• Infrequent bleeding
• Heavy bleeding
• Prolonged bleeding.

Over time, however, menstrual bleeding tends to become lighter and less frequent in some women. Please consult your doctor or family planning nurse if you are concerned about any bleeding pattern changes that may occur while using the contraceptive implant.

Keeping a diary can help you monitor how your bleeding pattern changes with the use of the Nexplanon implant. Download the Nexplanon Information Booklet which contains an example of a bleeding pattern diary.

Thanks very much for ur advice.
