Hi my birth control bar is suppose to come out Feb 24, 2013 and lately I have been feeling really light headed and minor headaches and my periods are lasting longer then usual and never seems to go off... and my arm where the implant is located tends to cramp here and there.... should I see a doctor or this is just the process of the bar when its almost ready to come out
Hi, If you have cramps at the site of the implant, you should report the matter to your health care provider, who can observe if the implant is dislocated. As your hormone contraception has been almost completed, you could be experiencing hormone imbalances and hence the abnormal menstrual cycles. These hormone disturbances can also be the cause of the headaches and dizziness. Please get blood pressure measurement, blood counts and urinalysis. Hope this helps.
