I've had the Nexplanon implant since 2018 (changed in 2021). I stopped getting my period but had light spotting last month and today. Is that normal, and could it be related to the Covid vaccine or Covid infection I recently had? I also have swollen lymph nodes in my breasts and slight stomach pain. Should I be worried about breast cancer, and is the spotting normal after 4 years of Nexplanon use?

How do I know when I’m ovulating, and what is the risk of pregnancy while on birth control?

I took Monistat 3 to treat a yeast infection, but on the second day, my discharge turned slightly pink, and on the third day, I started spotting. It's been four days of bleeding, not as heavy as a period but heavier than spotting, with severe cramping. My last period was just over a week ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had my last Depo shot in January, had one period in October but haven’t had one since. I was wondering if irregular bleeding is normal after stopping this kind of contraception? I use condoms, my last period was at the end of October - this was also my first bleed since stopping the birth control. I use Sertraline and am 22. Is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I recently switched brands of birth control (same type of hormonal BC just a different name brand) and started spotting today during the first week of the first new pack. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about the effectiveness of my BC?
