"i had the nexplanon implant inserted a little over a year ago. i immediately called back because i had been bleeding for three weeks straight after implant. i was instructed by the clinic to take iboprofen to control the bleeding (seemed an odd remedy to me) the nurse told me it would &quot;get better after a few weeks&quot;. it has been over a year. my period comes about everything 3 weeks and lasts from 4-14 days. sometimes i have a break in between and stop bleeding for a day or two, then it starts up again for another week... basically i am constantly on my period. it is inconvenient and bothersome, but i deal with it because i am preventing any unwanted pregnancies. my partner can&#039;t stand it. hopefully my hair doesn&#039;t begin falling out now too.."
