Thank you for your comment. (Was not worded as a question but I will assume it was a question ). This is a very common question. Nexplanon use may cause irregular bleeding for up to six months. It can be on/off, bleed one day and skip the next, continuous bleeding with varying amounts of blood. All of these examples can apply to you as well as other scenarios but not necessarily. Also having a sexually transmitted infection can sometimes cause bleeding. If you have had constant bleeding for a month I would recommend to go to your provider and get evaluated.
