What Causes Light Menstrual Bleeding While On Nexplanon?
I am on nexplanon and have been on it for about 6 months. I ve been having a period once a month and its been lighter lighter every time. and when I was supposed to have my period this month, I didn t. No period bleeding. But when I wipe, there is brown bloody-ish discharge. however, my boobs are still sore and i got acne breakouts like a normal period. What is going on?
Some of the common side effects of Nexplanon and other progestin-only methods are irregular bleeding and change in the duration or intensity of the menstrual cycle.
Although constant bleeding can be very annoying and frustrating, symptoms will typically improve within a few months.
