I am having continuous period, anyone else had this?
Up until a year ago I was having contraceptive injections once every 12 weeks, I had these for about three years and did not have any periods at all in this time (yay!). But last year I changed to the implant, as I was told this was better. I still didnt get any periods for a long time but now I have started having a continuous one it's been going on for over a month now. It's only very light but is annoying as I like to swim a lot and have never been comfortable doing so with a period, even though I know it's perfectly possible with the right protection.
Has anyone else had this and is there a solution?

I would think the change in contraception method is to blame.The ingredients in the implant will be slightly different to the injection you were having and your body will be responding to that change. Whilst the period is only "light" i would advise a trip to see your gp if this persists as you could become anaemic

Its a sideeffect of the new contraceptive method!, it will go away eventually ask your doctor. You can always use tampons while swimming!

Have you noticed any smells "down there"?
