A member asked:
I recently got the nexplanon but a week before i was spotting and it was very dark it has been 1.5 weeks and still have a light dark period is this ok?

Yes, its ok: Progesterone only contraception such as Nexplanon are notorious for causing irregular, unpredictable bleeding. This is especially true in the first 6 months. After a year, many women stop having periods at all. It takes your body awhile to adjust. Best wishes
