"i got the nexplanon injected in march 2015, up until 2 weeks ago i was loving it! ok i got the depo shot for 16 years and it was great. but my obgyn made me stop getting it because of my bone density. in those 16 years i only had maybe 2 or 3 periods and i loved it! ok now with the nexplanon i noticed at first i had no spotting or period up to these past 2 weeks and sometimes i bleed lightly or just spot so i&#039;m finding myself having to use tampons, something i was not used to. but when i first noticed some spotting about a month ago, my obgyn gave me some birth control pills and it stopped then, but here i am now worse and i really don&#039;t know what to do because the pills won&#039;t stop it now.
