Some women may have undesirable side effects while using implant. But many women adjust to it with few or no problems. Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect, especially in the first 6–12 months of use. For most women, periods become fewer and lighter. After one year, 1 out of 3 women who use implant birth control will stop having periods completely. Some women have longer, heavier periods. Some women have increased spotting and light bleeding between periods.
These side effects are completely normal. Some woman may worry that they are pregnant if they do not have a regular period. But when implant birth control is used correctly, it is very effective. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can always take a pregnancy test.
Less common side effects of implant birth control include
change in sex drive
discoloring or scarring of the skin over the implant
headache
nausea
pain at the insertion site
sore breasts
Should you have any other questions concerning your birth control implant, address them to your doctor for a more thorough and clearer explanation.
