Excessive bleeding is never "normal." Return to your prescribing Physician, preferably a specialist OBGyn, for evaluation.

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.
