Question about Nexplanon
I just got the implant (nexplanon) at the start of the month. I just started my period for the first time since I got it. I noticed a mucus like discharge during this time. It was pretty slimmy. Is this normal? I am having sex with my boyfriend tonight, so I am a bit disconcerted with this.

Also side note: I know its not an STD or anything. My boyfriend and I haven't had sex in about 6 months. We have been long distance.

Re: Question about Nexplanon
It's really hard to tell someone if their discharge is normal or not based on only hearing about one kind of discharge on one day. How we figure out what is and isn't normal for our bodies with this is by observing our discharges over time: over many days, weeks, months and years.
But it is normal for the vagina to have discharges, period, for a few reasons: it's how it cleans itself, for one, and discharge is also part of the fertility cycle, even when that cycle is being altered or disrupted by methods of contraception like the implant.
