instruction: i have been on nexplanon for a year after my first baby every since the implant I have periods every month before I started birth control I was regular I knew exactly when I was starting my period recently my doctor told me to take birth control pills while on nexaplanon to see if it would decrease my periods I have been taking the pills for a week straight and my period has been on for days which is not normal my period is heavy light it will stop then start again I do not know what I should do I just want my period to go back to normal
output: dear welcome to iclinq com implanon is associated with altered bleeding patterns generally it settles by a year time 15 to 17 percent may continue to have very heavy long cycle after implanon this is b'cos of the progestronic effect on endometrium do take hematinics as heavy bleeding may result in anemia continue the pills as advised by your gynec for a month and see for changes in pattern if it does not reduce even after pills support you need to meet your gynec for alternative methods of contraception after removing it regards due to the hormonal progestronic effect of nexplanon on the endometrium reassurance hematinics to continue pills plus nexplanon month think about removal if it is too cumbersome
