"i&#039;ve had nexaplon for officially a month now. the site where it was inserted has almost healed- very little bruising or discoloration. i&#039;m black american with a mocha chocolate complexion, just to provide further details. my menstuation came a week late, i&#039;ve always had a regular cycle. i wasn&#039;t sure if it was going to come. i&#039;ve talked to my doctor who had that spotting for the first six months, which was good to know. at the time, my cycle had just ended so i wasn&#039;t sure if i would experience spotting or not. it&#039;s been almost five days since my period ended and i&#039;ve had very minimal spotting. so, so far so good!"
