What Causes Brown Vaginal Spotting While On Nexplanon?

I m a 18 year old on the nexplanon for birth control , I had sex 3 times on two different days (03/11/17&03/12/17) after my last period (03/10/17) . Start date was on the 28th of February. We did use condoms but my boyfriend did cum inside of me . I ovulated on 3/17/17, and on 5dpo (3/22/17)I had light brown spotting just a few drops, which Im sure was implantation bleeding. I missed my period on (3/31/17) , I didn t ovulated on (4/14/17) which was weird to me , so currently I m 24 days late as of today (4/24/17), next expected period is on (4/28/17) . When I have my periods I spot a day or exactly on expected period . Today (4/24/17) when I wiped I only saw pink light spotting. Nothing on pad or underwear, I tested on 4/18/17 for urine and blood test came back negative . I ve had all symptoms of pregnancy but test show otherwise, what can be going on ?

Hi, I think spotting can be a side effect of nexplanon. You can get spotting during periods. If your pregnancy test is negative, you are not pregnant. Don't worry about it. It will resolve on its own. You can have amenorrhea while using nexplanon. So, be ready for it. It is a common side effect. Hope it helps.
