Birth Control
"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."
