Good evening. I have had a contraceptive implant inserted since April, unfortunately in the 3rd month after insertion I got bleeding that lasted 3 weeks. For this reason, the doctor prescribed me elin tablets to stop the bleeding and regulate it. Can these methods of contraception negatively affect each other and interfere with the contraceptive effect? The doctor did not mention anything about it.

Yes, you are still secured. The use of two different hormonal agents may increase the risk of possible side effects, but does not affect the effectiveness of the therapy.
I have no side effects. Of course, the doctor recommended the medicine. I only mean whether I am still protected against pregnancy in such a case.

It is generally not recommended to use two different hormonal contraceptives at the same time (unless otherwise advised by your doctor), as the combined use of several hormonal contraceptives may increase the risk of side effects that may or may not necessarily occur to you. You should observe your body and report any side effects to your doctor, please follow his recommendations. If you have any further concerns about your treatment, you should consult your doctor again. A medical consultation is also advisable if the bleeding does not stop - the doctor will recommend appropriate treatment in this situation, e.g. consider changing the hormonal contraceptive method used.
