Spotting off and on for a month

I am 29 and have had 2 natural live births. After having my second child 5 years ago I had a period every other week for months. I was put on nexplanon and they slowed to spotting once a month. I found out last year I have hypothyroidism. I recently have spotting off and on for a month. I spot for a day is gone then come back the next day. I had a heavy period with a lot of clots a week ago and am now spotting again. What is going on?

Ok...so this is now becoming a chronic issue....please have an ultrasound of the pelvis done, followed by blood works including estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, tsh and fsh....your ob/gyn will help you wit it....stop nexplanon...start taking thyroxin starting with 50 mcg....plz consult your doctors first as i do not have any access to you

Must correct the hypothyroid with one of the thyroid hormone products which ideally should see an endocrinologist. Fixing the thyroid may get your periods back to normal.

If you still have the Nexplanon, I would put my money on that being the cause of this abnormal bleeding.

What you have is called 'Abnormal Uterine Bleeding' and there are multiple possible causes for this. Determining the cause requires a visit to your OBGYN for an exam , bloodwork and possibly a pelvic US. If you are on thyroid hormone replacement you should have your TSH checked as well as a blood count , a prolactin level and a pregnancy test. Your weight and general health, as well as other medications you may be taking are important and will help your OBGYN make a diagnosis , and recommend a treatment plan.
