"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for about 11 months. it&#039;ll be 1 year in january 2017. i didn&#039;t bleed the first month after insertion. then i started bleeding. i thought it was my period except be bleeding never went away. i have been continuously bleeding for 10 months (light flow but still annoying). sometimes i get a couple days of no bleeding and then the bleeding continues. 



a few months ago my np did a test to see if i was anemic because of the bleeding and i wasn&#039;t. if you are bleeding a lot, i suggest you see your doctor for anemia check. 



honestly, i wish i had gotten the paragard (copper iud) but at the same time iuds scare because i haven&#039;t had kids yet. i&#039;m trying to wait as long as possible to see if the bleeding will regulate."
