I've got the contraceptive implant in my arm and for several months I've had long and heavy periods.  However, they have now stopped-hurrah! 

But I still get the same 'period' spot on my chin as always.

Do you ladies get the same thing or am I a freak?

Hmm.. unsure...when i was on contraceptives..i had many many spots all over my face not just my chin. Am I the weird one??

lololol Awww Lina, the joys of being a woman, eh?

I tend to get the same bloomin' spot in the same place and it's always HUGE and unslightly.

Was going to be so good and not squeeze it, but it was too tempting!!

I had the injection which is the same hormone as the implant and I had horrible skin (as well as many other nasy side effects).

Good luck, I hope your skin clears up and you get on ok with the implant.

Tea tree oil is good for spots.

I've never had this and don't plan on having it. I have heard more bad stuff about them than good. As for the spot i'm on the pill and still get spots around that time of the month.

It really is a woman thing. xxx

Hi, I've got the implant. I had lots of spots appear at first, but no periods. I do have pcos though, so that may be why

o no i just got the implant put in on monday. i have always bad spots only around my chin and they too get worse at the time of the month.

i say it must be bacause i am still a teenager at heart thats why i have teenage skin. tho i find the spots really really sore. xx
