Does The Nexplanon Implant Cause Brown Spotting Continuously?

Since receiving the nexplanon implant, over two months ago, I have been spotting a brown discharge continuously. When I searched it, most sites said the spotting should only last a few days, however this brown spotting has been happening for over two months. Should I go get checked out?

Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these spotting that you have reported months after starting the nexplanon. Congratulations on taking upon yourself the chance to have a complete control of your reproductive life.

Spotting should only last for a short time after starting this nexplanon. It persistence requires that you get checked to make sure there are no other potential causes of similar symptoms. If nothing is found, then you would be reassured and this should eventually stop. If it shouldn't by the end of the third month, other options on how to deal with this would be proposed.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for clarification and more information if need be. Thanks for using our services.
