I now have vaginal atrophy (I am told), a very dry vagina and I get occassional hot flushes. I have had a Hormone assay performed by my doctor and this indicated an Oestrogen level equal to that of a menopausal woman - I am only 24. Could this be due to the fact that these two types of Contraception are Progesterone only?

yes -- and why exaclty are you using both???

Will I need to go on the pill?

no

What about Oestrogen replacement or will this reduce the efficacy of the Implanon which I had inserted 4 weeks ago?

maybe to help iwth you symptoms, and no
