What Causes Heavy And Irregular Menstrual Bleeding Despite Using A Nexplanon Implant?
Last year in October I got the Nexplanon birth control implant in my arm. I didn t get it for sexual reasons so I haven t been sexually active the whole time since I ve had the birth control. I m anemic and before my periods were extremely and abnormally heavy so that s why I got the implant. My first period after I got the implant was extremely light and so were the following. Around the time in February my period started and it was still light, it just lasted for over a month and I m used to it lasting about four days. My cycle during this time was very light though, light enough to where I didn t have to wear protection it would just show up on the tissue when I used the bathroom. Eventually it stopped but then tiny blood clots started to come out along with my discharge. It never really got normal to no clots at all ever since then but it got to the point where I can t even really notice it until I wipe myself while using the bathroom. To describe what it looked like, when I wiped there came up discharge and there would be little strings of blood but it would be darker than usual play. Now it s April and my actual cycle came again this time it was heavier than what I am used to. Ever since I got on the Nexplanon I could wear a tampon almost all day if I wanted to. But this time my cycle was heavy enough to where I would have to wear a pad and change it within probably five hours then had would be filled with basically a puddle of blood but before I got on the birth control my period was so heavy I would have to change a pad after a hour or two. Well now my cycle stopped after about a week of being on my period. But now I have a bunch of blood clots coming out of me. And it s not just a regular amount of blood clots a girl gets when she s usually on her cycle or how it was the first time this ever happened. Me not being on my cycle it s kind of scary because it s so many blood clots. And it s like I m living the last day of a menstrual cycle over and over again because all that comes out of me is brown stuff along with the blood clots. And I don t know if this is a pH balance issue or not but I do I know for sure that I have no sexually transmitted diseases. I m trying to add as much detail as I can so I can get some type of help and if you have any conclusion or theories on what may be happening to me I d appreciate the answer. Thank you.
In my opinion, you are requested to visit a nearby gynecologist to evaluate your problem, get some blood tests and probably endometrial curettage is done.
