Why am I bleeding after getting a contraceptive implant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

This Jadelle contraceptive implant (a long-acting, reversible subdermal contraceptive implant consisting of two rods releasing levonorgestrel) is likely the reason for your symptoms. Such bleeding is a common thing that happens to people who have this implant.

In the first three months after insertion, your body will need time to adjust to the progestin hormone. Because of this, the uterine lining will be unstable, leading to continuous and irregular bleeding. It can be really annoying. It is not usually serious.

To help make the bleeding stop or get better, you might need to see a doctor for a while. You will probably need to see the doctor for a visit. The doctor might give you some medicine, like Mefenamic acid or Tranexamic acid to help control the bleeding from the Jadelle implant. The doctor can help you figure out the way to deal with the bleeding from the Jadelle implant. Sometimes people take pills to help get their period back to normal. You should only take these after you talk to a doctor.

There are some things you can do at home to help your body feel better. Eating food that has a lot of iron in it, drinking a lot of water, and keeping track of when you bleed can be helpful. Usually, just doing these things at home is not enough to make the bleeding stop completely.

You should think about going to see a doctor if the bleeding keeps happening for a while, if it gets really heavy, or if you start to feel weak or tired all the time.

Also, bleeding is not going to hurt you when you have sex. It might feel uncomfortable.

The good thing is that the Jadelle implant is still going to help prevent pregnancy, and the bleeding gets better after a while.

I hope this information helps you.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
