so I have Nexplanon. It was put in June 2017 6 weeks after my daughter was born. At first I had periods every other week…so twice a month full blown periods and this went on several months. I was put on bc pills to help straighten it out. After a week on the pills having absolutely awful headaches they told me to stop the pill. After that week I was fine. Period once a month like clockwork. Been that way for over a year now. Well June 8th I had a period and after that period I had discharge…like ovulation discharge. My last period was July 6th. Yesterday and today I am spotting…a very scant amount about 3 separate times so far. I have never had spotting in between. Normally if I see any blood I start. My next period is due August 3rd.
I’m concerned that the Nexplanon is not working properly anymore. Should I wait and see what happens or should I call the Dr’s office and tell them? I don’t want to jump the gun but this spotting is weird for me.

My nexplanon stopped working about 1.5 years into it.
Nexplanon has given me the most irregular periods ever… It’s the number 1 side effect… I wouldn’t worry but ask your doctor if you want
Call your doctor. Any concerns should be brought up that way they know what’s going on.
Same irregular periods and spotting here n thre. Ive had nexplanon for three yrs now
I had mine put in October 2017. First I had my period for about 2 months straight, then it was normal, and now it’s every few months I get it. I’m going on my 2nd month without a period. My obgyn said it’s normal and it’s also normal for my period to stop completely while on nexplannon.
I got mine Feb 2017, 6 weeks after my son was born. I struggled with spotting and have to take a birth control pill on top of the nexplannon to control the bleeding. I had to change birth controls three times before I found the perfect match for my body. I do randomly spot sometimes and it freaks me out but my doctor assured me it’s just a hormone imbalance.
I’ve been on nexpalnon for 4 years. I love it. I used to get my period once every 4 months. This time around I haven’t had any
