A member asked:
My nexplanon was inserted about a year ago today. no period since my date of insertion. i am on doxycycline and this morning i woke up to a period which varies from light pink/ red. is this normal? does implant still work? am i at risk for pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 1/3 of people on Nexplanon do not have periods. Others have irregular periods. This is normal and expected. IF the Nexplanon is still in your arm then it is working.
