Go see ur doctor: Check out http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-info/birth-control/birth-control-implant-implanon. While it's very unlikely to get pregnant after Nexplanon implanted, irregular bleeding is common side effect in 1st 6-12months after placement. Check w/doctor who inserted Nexplanon to be sure nothing else going on.
