Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yeah I thought that they pulled all of those off the market in the US, and they removed them from those who had them.!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Implanon is relatively new here in Australia, but is supposed to be quite a safe method of contraception. It is a progesterone only implant which is placed in the upper arm, and lasts for three years. one of the other mothers at school has one. Ina, I would suggest that you see your doctor....your bleeding could be some kind of infection. Also, if you have changed any of your other medications, they could be interfering with your absorption of the implanon. A prime candidate could be vitamin C. Vitamin C increases the absorption rate of medications, so if you are taking Vit C and then stop taking it, your medications become less effective, which can lead to things like breakthrough bleeding.
