A member asked:
I am on nexplanon and havent had my period in 9 months. the past month, i have had random spotting/bleeding twice, both of which began shortly after having sex. i also got a yeast infection. is this because of my bc or another issue?

Nexplanon is commonly associated with long intervals with "no period". Sexual activity related "spotting/bleeding" is b/c of irritation of an inflamed cervix. See your GYN physician for an exam, who may cauterize the cervix to prevent further bleeding.
