A member asked:

I got the implanon chip last year march and i have been bleeding every month since and most times have brown discharge. should i remove the chip??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nexplanon: Some individuals do experience "brown discharge" and or light bleeding with progestin-type implants. Pregnancy is uncommon, but can also occur on this kind of contraception, so obtain a serum HCG test to make certain, but discuss another form of contraception if the test is negative. Low dose oral bcp's require punctual ingestion daily, but are a good alternative (if no contraindications).
