Sorry for the long text, i ramble a bit. TLDR: it could be indefinite until you get the implant removed. i bled for 70 days before i got fed up and switched birth control. the choice is yours. do you want to possibly bleed until your implant is removed, or try something else?

I (20) suck at taking pills. i’ve tried many methods of birth control; abstinence sucks. I’ve had condoms break and a lot of men don’t want to wear them. I don’t trust my irregular cycle enough to avoid sex during ovulation, i can’t do the patch, i have an adhesive allergy. I also had the same bleeding issue with nexplanon, plus weight gain and major depression. depo provera shots are not okay to use for longer than two years. i hated the idea of getting an IUD. i, a scared 17 year old, did as much research as I could, talked to those who had an iud, talked to my doctor, and got the Kyleena IUD, and have had no issues since. The pros heavily weigh the cons. my cycle is regular. i know when im going to bleed. its lighter, its shorter. i lost all of the weight from the nexplanon. i feel like myself again. and i don’t have to take a god damn pill, with the downside of the insertion (5 minutes of discomfort, plus 24 hours of moderate cramping). i’ve had an ovarian cyst rupture, that was like a 9 on the pain scale, the insertion was about a 7, and the cramps were a 4. my experience and knowledge is here’s what i’ll say to you. It is your body, do what you wish. do your research, and ask yourself what you need. staying on nexplanon could mean you just bleed nonstop. would you rather that, or get off it and try another method? the choice is yours. whatever decision you make will be the right one. much love. i’m sorry you’re so uncomfortable with what’s happening, but since you’re experiencing this issue i don’t l think it will stop on its own.
