Arm implant birth control

Hi! I got the Nexplanon arm implant about 7 months ago. Since then, I’ve been having irregular bleeding. I had a period a week and a half ago, but then I started bleeding again 5 days ago, and it’s still going. The blood is pretty red too. Is this normal? I’m thinking about seeing my OB-GYN next week, but if anyone has any experience with this, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks!

I’m literally experiencing the same thing. I had my period and then period again like two weeks later. It’s so irregular but apparently it’s normal so I’ve been told

Is that the one that has the lawsuits against it?

When I first got on it I saw my period for a whole month. Then it went back to regular and now I haven’t seen it since February. You’re not alone girl. I’ve never had irregular period before getting pregnant and now ion even know when it’s gonna come back

@Jody thank you so much😭😭 I was so scared

@Daria okay good! Thank you!

Same happened to me but i didn’t know it was normal. I swear is be on my period for 3 weeks and when I told by OB/GYN he said it was normal. I ended up switching to another BC because of it

I’m not currently on that but I had gotten it after my first son who is now 9 and after the 3 years I had gotten another put in. That was pretty normal. I had a period and then it completely disappeared. I wouldn’t get another I’m currently just take a pill after baby #2

@Diedre I’m thinking about that too. How do you like the pill?

@Sara the pill is fine for me.

ya i got mine 7 months too and pretty much since birth, i’ve been bleeding… it was extremely heavy in the beginning but now it’s just spotting always. i have an appointment soon to possibly get the IUD. hopefully that’s better
