birth control
"I've had nexplanon for about 11 months. It'll be 1 year in January 2017. I didn'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'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't had kids yet. I'm trying to wait as long as possible to see if the bleeding will regulate."
