Change pill: It is usual to have irregular bleeding after starting a pill, and this can continue for 3 months or so. If you have been on this pill a while, you may need to change your pill to one with more progestational activity. Continue to take your pill as you normally would, and if this irregular bleeding recurs, go to your practitioner.

I have the nexplanon in my arm for birth control so I rarely have periods. I just finished a period 7-14 days ago. I am not bleeding again and the blood is dark red almost brown and has large clots of tissue in it. The flow is otherwise low for me.
