A member asked:
I've been on the pop for 4 packs and have had good luck as far as side effects and bleeding. would i likely have a similar experience with nexplanon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The most common side-effect of Nexplanon is irregularly irregular periods which can remain so for the entire 3 years. There is no way to say whether or not your experience with progestin only oral contraceptives would predict your likelihood of having the same experience with Nexplanon. Hope this helps.
