[|Human|] I have been on implanon for about 15 months. The first 9 months i had my period pretty much the whole time with 1-2 day break about once a month. After that till now they have been pretty regular. Well 4 days ago i started spotting and it started the day after my regular period should have started. My husband and i have been sexually active with no protection. First pregnancy test came out negative the first day of spotting but im just wondering if it could just be the birth control .
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing to us. You have gotten negative pregnancy test with spotting 4 days ago. Implanon is birth control intradermal implant and efficacy rate is more than 99%. Spotting or irregular bleeding may be due to side effect of the implant or hormonal imbalance caused by stress/ emotional upset etc.Don't be much worried about this and try to avoid stress. If further irregular spotting appears, then consult with your gynecologist and need some investigations to rule out pathology. Maintain genital hygiene. Be well.
