Nexplanon ?'s: Nexplanon is a progesterone derivative with variable effects at times. Progestins will not stop estrogen production from the ovaries, but do have a suppressive effect on regular ovulation. Irregular bleeding should be investigated by your gyn physician who provided Nexplanon. Occasional pregnancy can occur, and pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic) needs immediate care.
