Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Nexplanon implant contains progesterone which has the side effect of irregular spotting and bleeding, or prolonged amenorrhea.
It is a common side effect and there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
