Brief Answer:
Use combined oral contraceptive pills for three cycles.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Health Care magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Please let me know, when did you get the Nexplanon inserted? Bleeding irregularities are common in the first year of insertion.

If the bleeding is mild use Mefenamic acid (Ponstan) 500mg three times daily for 5 days and see (please get proper prescription by your local doctor for these). The bleeding usually stops. You need to take these tablets after breakfast or meal. Don't take them on empty stomach.

The second option is to use combined oral contraceptive pills for three cycles. This usually regularizes the cycle.

Using Primolut with nexplanon is not going to cause pregnancy. So don't worry about it. But cycle control is better with combined pills than progesterone alone.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Ramadevi Wani

Brief Answer:
Nexplanon DOES NOT cause infertility.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Ponstan stops the bleeding. If the next cycle is also prolonged you can use Ponstan again. The bleeding often settles down in few months.

Nexplanon DOES NOT cause infertility. Within a week of its removal, the hormones from the devise leave the body and the fertility returns back to what it was before the implant insertion.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.

Best wishes,
Dr Ramadevi Wani
