No!: It's very common to have irregular periods after insertion of Nexplanon. Your periods may eventually normalize, get less frequent, stop all together, last longer, or you may have intermenstrul spotting throughout the three years of use. However, you will not become anemic, and it provides highly effective contraception. Clinician who inserted it should have counseled you about bleeding changes.

This would be rod: Takes some time for the periods to settle down. Difficult to say in your particular case. http://www.arhp.org/publications-and-resources/clinical-proceedings/single-rod/tips but it's pretty easy to take out. WOuld require a doctor to do it, though.
