A member asked:

I have the nexplanon implant and had it replaced after 3 years this may. during the replacement the doctor switched the implant from my left arm to the right. 3 months later i'm having dark brown discharge for 1 month and now heavy bleeding. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is very normal. Nexplanon is notorious for irregular spotting and breakthrough bleeding, even if you did not experience this during your first implant. Wait it out a couple more months to let your body adjust, and if the bleeding continues and/or is prohibitive to your quality of life, discuss with your provider about removing it and switching to an alternative form of birth control.
