I have had my implant in for two years now, but I go though months and months of bleeding and then suddenly I don't get any at all. Is this something to do with my hormones? because I never know when its coming it just happens at random. HELP x

Unfortunately it can be part of any hormonal form of birth control. It can vary as to how a woman may respond. Some women will have cycles become regular for a change, some will have increased bleeding, some irregular bleeding, some will stop having periods altogether.

You could ask your doctor if another form might be a better option for you, but you have to weigh the pros and cons when deciding. For many women the pro of not having to think about birth control while on the implant far outweighs the cons of some irregular cycles.
