What Does It Mean When Period Last For Weeks Followed By Spotting?
What does it mean when you have your period for about 2 and a half weeks? The first week was normal then it got pretty light. But after the 2 and a half weeks I began spotting. It started out red but now it is brown. Could I be pregnant? I also have the nexplanon in.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though it is possible to become pregnant while on nexplanon, the chance is very low. It is one of the most effective forms of birth control.
Nexplanon , like most types of hormonal contraception, can be associated with episodes of irregular bleeding. It is possible that this is the reason for your abnormal vaginal bleeding.
The brown blood is normally old blood so this means that it may be slowing down.
I hope this helps
