A member asked:

I got the nexplanon implant in 2014. i had almost constant light brown and pink discharge for 6 months before removing it. 3 years later mensus is regular but i have brown discharge right before and after period for 3 days each. should i be worried?

Probably not: The brown discharge is most likely part of your period. It is unrelated to the Nexplanon you had in 2014. Best wishes!
