Hello,
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.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
