I've had the Nexplanon subdermal implant for 6 months and I've been bleeding almost every day for 5 months. Just recently, I have started having a 'thinner' period, it's bright red and kinda slippery. I'm getting it taken out I'm 2 weeks and starting the pill, and I have taken 3 pregnancy tests this week which were all Negative. Is this normal?

Hello and thank you for using EmpowHer,
July 18, 2015 - 11:03amThis is definitely not normal and it would be wise to get it removed sooner if possible
Bleeding that lasts more then 7 days signifies a problem.
The slipperiness of the blood is because it is mixed with vaginal discharge. The types of blood you see does not signify a problem. But the fact that you were bleeding for 5 months is definitely unhealthy.
When you see the doctor, I suggest you be tested for anemia. Having prolonged bleeding can easily cause anemia.
