[QUOTE="Star_Anise, post: 1508759, member: 411465"] Did you have unstable periods before Implanon and was this your first time on Implanon.? And why did you come off it? I hope you don't mind me asking. I was on it 8mths basically continued to bleed constantly....it also gave me psychological issues. This was waaaay before I got diabetes. It can take a few months for your cycle to settle back down again, but if you are concerned about your missed period then please see your doctor and also especially if constant bleeding reoccurs, you'll be losing iron. They can prescribe medicine in case of any heavy bleeding. Also you don't happen to have any other Gynae related issue such as endometriosis? My experience is that it's Progesterone that impacts the insulin as in it makes the body resistant and if there are wild fluctuations of this and Oestrogen it causes havoc for diabetic women. Any further addition of artificial Progesterone can add to this havoc. I have had several years of going through synthetic hormones to help the endometriosis was put on pill non stop 4 years then chemically induced menopause and this impacted my diabetes incredibly dramatically. I decided to stay free of hormonal interference for a year and a half, it took 6 months for cycles to become predictable. However having a a really hellish year so far of dramatic insulin changes every cycle. Going on the pump in a few months. I use an app called Clue to monitor my cycle and symptoms, it's a lifesaver! It predicts next period, ovulation, I even have alerts in it to warn me of pre period and ovulation hypos and post ovulation insulin resistance. Please feel free to PM, I am so glad to see discussions around female hormones and insulin. [/QUOTE]
