Are bleeding irregularities associated with Jadelle serious?
A change in the menstrual bleeding pattern-the most frequently reported side effect-is to be expected with hormonal methods that do not contain estrogen. Most bleeding irregularities associated with Jadelle are not serious, although they may be troublesome for some users. If a woman experiences heavy bleeding, she should see her physician or health care provider to make sure the bleeding is not masking another condition. Because some rod users experience amenorrhea, missed menstrual periods cannot serve as the only means of identifying early pregnancy.
