A member asked:
Nexplanon is supposed to thin the uterine lining. so why do some people still have regular periods on it? does it mean that nexplanon isn't working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You just produce a lot of estrogen that is more than the nexplanon accounts for in some women

Hi there, so if your uterine lining is thick, it doesn't really mean, you have cancer, right? Could be just hiperplasia? I took prometrium for 10 days and the 11th was the first day of my period, but today, the 24th, after I thought it stopped on the 17th
