7th year of the implant

Side Effects

Hey guys,

I think i'm mostly looking for some form of validation or advice here?

Basically I first had the implant 7 years ago - so have had two replacements now. The first 6 years it stopped my periods entirely. I had to get it changed last year as it was expiring. My periods returned but now they are so inconsistent. They can happen every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks or the longest stint without one was about 5 weeks.

They're lighter than they would have been without the implant, but just so much more frequent. Has anyone else experienced side effect changes from previous implants they had?

TIA !
