Is A 2-week Long Menstrual Cycle Normal While Being On Nexplanon?

Is it normal to have your menstral cycle for 2 weeks straight while on nexplanon? I ve been on it for 2 years but before that I was on Depo, so I haven t really had a cycle for two years, so I was concerned that I am having it now especially since my nexplanon isn t supposed to come out until may 2018.

Hi,

Unfortunately, this is a possibility. It does not occur in everyone using this medication but it is one of the possible side effects. A change in menstrual bleeding- either prolonged or shorter, can occur.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
