Implants only have one hormone. Many hormonal birth control methods contain two hormones, estrogen and progestin. Some people with certain health problems can't use methods that contain estrogen. Nexplanon is super effective at preventing pregnancy AND it's estrogen-free, so more people are able to use it.

You may have longer or shorter periods or very light or no menstrual bleeding at all. You may also have brown discharge (old blood). This discharge is common as your body adjusts to the hormone medicine in the implant, which can take one or more months to stop. Every woman has her own unique vaginal odor.

Side effects When you have Depo Provera, your hormone levels are low and stable throughout your cycle, so the lining of your uterus doesn't thicken as it normally would. When it comes time for your period there is very little lining to shed and so you bleed less than you normally would.

If you become pregnant while using NEXPLANON, you have a slightly higher chance that the pregnancy will be ectopic (occurring outside the womb) than do women who do not use birth control. Unusual vaginal bleeding or lower stomach (abdominal) pain may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.
