cervical screening + contraceptive implant
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2019 4:31 pm
I'm on my 3rd cycle of the contraceptive implant - I've been really lucky that my periods stop during this time (apart from very occasional spotting).
However, since my first cervical screening in February, I have started having periods again (the last two months, a very "standard" period) but also, I have been irregularly bleeding too - not particularly heavy, more so the darker red blood that happens near the end of a period and this can last a number of days at a time before just stopping.
I just wanted some advice - should I expect this as I'm aware there's no guarantee the contraceptive implant will always stop periods... or should I enquire further given it's a significant change for my personal menstrual cycle?
Thank you
