Brief Answer:
Can be a normal variation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The intermittent mild spotting is a normal finding on nexplanon. Just to calm your mind and to rule out contraceptive failure, you can do a urine test to confirm that you are not pregnant.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
