"i&#039;ve had nexplanon since october 2014 and i haven&#039;t been a solid 2 weeks without bleeding since. my first period after insertion lasted 6 whole months. since april i&#039;ve only had about a week and a half off then i start again for a whole month then again a small break and back to bleeding. i am still sexually active with the same person and nexplanon is our only form of birth control and we&#039;ve had no scares but still i can not wait to get this out this coming october!"
