Sorry if this isn’t the right topic to post under but I wasn’t sure where else to post.

My contraceptive implant ran out 4 months ago, I completely forgot about it but now have an appointment next week to get it replaced…..

My last period wasn’t as long or as heavy as normal, I can’t remember when my last one was (approx 4/5 weeks ago maybe) or when the next is due but usually every 4 weeks.

I’ve had light pink and some brown spotting for around 10 days now. Also experiencing mild and intermittent left sided ache/pain. Took x2 tests both negative.
Anyone else had this or similar. I’ll bring it up at my appointment but just wondering for now what it might mean? TIA 🙂

I've had an implant over a year out of date and was protected from pregnancy still.
When I finally got it replaced the GP explained they do tend to last for longer than the (I think mine was 3 years) tome stated on the literature but they just aren't medically allowed to claim they are effective for longer.
