I've had my nexplanon for almost 6 months now and i've only had 2 weeks during that time where i'm not having this thick brown discharge. normal?

Can cause bleeding: Irregular bleeding is a common and normal side effect of nexplanon. Thick brown discharge is usually old blood and mucous that has been sitting at the back of the vagina. For some bleeding occurs less frequently than your normal cycle. For others more frequently.
