Had Implant For 7 Years (3different Ones) & Now Spotting
(Newest replies first)

Updated

This is my third implanon implant because it works brilliantly for me... No periods and no mood swings and no babies in 7 years!
Well I did get some spotting once when the first one was finishing.
Now I am spotting again though and I only had the new one put in nine months ago... It's been working since then and I'm just slightly worried if this one has run out or if it's just something that happens every now and then... Can't find any examples of anyone using it this long.
It's very light but cannot risk pregnancy
Please can someone let me know if this is normal?
I live in a country where contraception is not something you can go to the doctors about

Spotting/breakthrough bleeding is a normal side effect and is generally nothing to worry about, unless your doctor feels there is reason for concern.

It can occur anytime someone uses a form of hormonal contraception, as reported by the U.S. FDA. You may also experience headache, dizziness and irritability.

It does not, however, reduce the efficacy or increase your risk of pregnancy.

Is there anything else I can help with?

... I had to fly to Australia to get the implant... So removing/changing it is a very costly and difficult procedure... The doctors here will not be able to answer any questions about it
