When will the bleeding stop!?

I had the nexplanon inserted 8th jan this year and had it removed almost 3 weeks ago due to experiencing side effects such as mood swings, depression, ongoing bleeding etc. most have calmed down although I still don't feel too right in my mind. I think six weeks into hAving the implant inserted was when I started to have spotting, the smallest amount and a brown colour. I didn't need a panty liner for at least 3 weeks of the bleeding. It started to get a little heavier and was more red, so started using panty liners. I've had this for about two weeks now, it is still incredibly lighter than a period, and isn't constant, I will bleed every day but not constantly like you do with a period, so I'm worried. I always have stomach cramps as well, and have noticed the last two times I've had sex, some positions (such as me on top and behind(sorry TMI!!)) have caused discomfort inside me, around my lady parts, maybe uterus? I have no idea. But the last time I had sex, I thought my period had stopped because the bleeding had stopped and was starting to go brown and then nothing, so we did it, then I realised I had bled a little, but not the sort of bleeding like on a period, it was a very clear red. It has gone now and I'm back I brown again. Is there a problem with me at all? Is it normal after implant?

If its that bad you should see a doctor and have it removed. If you lose too much blood you can become anemic.

Yes it is normal. That is why most people do not like the implant.
