I had the nexplanon implant in for 5 years (2 years more than I should have but out of pocket to remove it was $800 so i had to save up). I was on my period literally every single day for the entire 5 years. Safe to say I didn't get pregnant. I got it it 2015, removed it in 2020, when I removed it it took me until last June to get knocked up. And trust me. I had tons of unprotected sex with my best male friend cuz as a single mom you only want one consistent good D instead of a bunch of randoms. Lol. But it took until last year in June with my husband and begging my ancestors to let me conceive at least one more time before I hit 30 and officially can't conceive or hold a baby inside me. Every female in my family stop being able to conceive after 30. And I'm 29 this week. And I've already had issues with conceiving and issues with my pregnancies because of the scarring and damage I have inside. Almost miscarried multiple times throughout both pregnancies. Had to do a lot of hospital visits.
The nexplanon did not help. They had to cut deeper to even remove it because it like sunk into my muscle and was very close to puncturing a vein and going inside of it. I had to get it removed in the emergency room instead of the obgyn in case I had to go into surgery to remove it.
So also make sure you're keeping an eye on it or a feel for it to make sure it's not moving or sunken in.
I have had the implant for 6 years ( been changed once ) and never gotten pregnant and I didn’t use any other protection at times ( long term relationship) only fell pregnant 3 months after taking my implant out
I've had it since I was 16 and I've never had an issue I will say that if you move it around it can go deeper in your arm so I'd just leave it alone but other than that it's pretty good
I got pregnant on it and unfortunately did not know until it caused a miscarriage. I had no bleeding at all the whole time I was on it. (I was 17) Also, I was unable to get pregnant again until about 10 years after I got it taken out.
I got pregnant on the nexplanon implant My bleeding stopped but I was taking tests and they was all coming back negative and found out I was pregnant 2 and half months later when I went to an appointment to switch from the implant to the coil and they done a urine test xx
