Hi,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Actually, Nexplanon implantation is usually after 4 weeks postpartum, to allow all uterine bleeding flow out after delivery usually there is bleeding + white discharge for 21 days.
Nexplanon is known to have cahged bleeding patterns.. spotting/ scanty bleeding/ profuse bleeding/ absent periods..
You have bent Nexplanon rod.. which might cause increased release of hormones & incraesed side effects like spotting.
Though there is no chance of pregnancy in present situation, you should get the rod checked/ replaced as per advise of your doctor.
Pregnancy with nexplanon is to be terminated for fear of congenital malformations in the baby.
Thanks
