Had Implanon Inserted, Not Had Periods Since Then. Feeling Dizziness, Hot Flashes And Bruising. Suggestion?

hello my name is Nicole. I have been on the implanon since 11/11. I am 25 years old. I have not had a period since the 1st month I had the implanon inserted. However I am going on 3 weeks of a period some blood is bright red, some is darkish maroon. I have been dizzy, had hot and cold flashes, and been bruising very easily..

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Nicole, Implanon is a synthetic progesterone preparation. It prevents conception by inhibiting ovulation, by making cervical mucus thick & impossible for sperm penetration. Improper menstural bleeding pattern is quite common. Spotting or scanty bleeding instead of regular bleeding occurs in the initial few months due to hormonal imbalance. Complete absence of period is also very common & so don't be worried. Fertility (ovulatory cycles) may return back 6 to 30 months after the discontinuation. But may take a long time for some women. Dizziness & hot flushes are the side effects of Implanon.
