What Causes White Mucus Vaginal Discharge Post Nexplanon Implant?

I have a Nexplanon implant(since May 2014) and have been discharging a whitish mucus for the past few days. Could this be a pregnancy? Or just a change in my hormones? Also, there s a long list of side affects for the implant and I have atleast half of them on occasion. Should I see a doctor about it? Thank you.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Nexplanon implant has an extremely low failure rate and hence the pregnancy is highly unlikely in your case.
The increased mucoid discharge from the vagina is most likely due to the hormonal effect of the implant.
I suggest you to not to worry, if there is no odour or itching due to the discharge.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
