Spotting with nexplanon

Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this… I’ve had nexplanon for 2 months, and I know it can either make periods heavier, lighter or stop all together. Since I had it fitted, I’ve not had a proper “period”, only brown spotting that lasts 1-2 days. It’s completely irregular and doesn’t happen once a month, it’s usually every couple of weeks, sometimes closer together. Is that normal? I keep worrying myself that it’s implantation bleeding or something even though it’s 99% effective and I barely have sex 😂

When I first got it it stopped my period completely, maybe with a random day here and there. But after the covid shot, it completely messed that up. I started periods again and would bleed for weeks at a time to go months with no period. Also when I did have sex it would trigger a period, which has never happened to me before that birth control. It was just very irregular

I was bleeding for 6months straight on it and had it taken out.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
