"i got nexplanon in aug 2015  after giving birth in june. i have been on my period since they put this thing in my arm. it is now 12/2/15. i keep calling my doc to ask if this is normal first she tell me, give it 3 months now she is telling me give it 5. i would much rather get an iud a try because this bleeding is not working for me. my husband and i have not been intimate for over 5 months now. that is not what i intended when i got it inserted. i would not recommend this to anyone."
