Side effects of Nexplanon?

TMI WARNING. Okay I have a question for all the mommies who have been on nexaplanon. I’ve had nexaplanon in my arm for a lil over a year now and I wasn’t really sexually active the way I am now. I didn’t get my period this whole year and now that I’m more sexually active I’m bleeding again. It’s very light but I just wanna know if this is normal. Have any of you guys had this experience when you were sexually active?

It’s completely normal i bleed sometimes after sex your body doesn’t heal completely until about 2 years

Nope I never bled one bit the whole 3 years I had it… maybe he is making you bleed for some reason? Might need checked. You could have a cyst or something

I had nexplanon when it was still implanon and hated it. I gained so much weight and was on my period almost constantly for the last year of it.

having sex increases hormones so yes the increased hormones can cause light bleeding or spotting

Yeah we had sex last Monday and I’m still bleeding

I had the Nexplanon for 5 years. The only time I bled was when I lost a bit of weight.
I actually gained weight on birth control so I tried to diet a couple times. I’d lose 10-20 pounds then 1-2 weeks later my period would come after being nonexistent. But then I’d gain some weight back and no more period. So could have to do with the increased physical activity and hormones.
