Extremely unlikely: Implanon/Nexplanon is the MOST effective method of contraception available (other than abstinence). It is more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.

I got the nexplanon implant in May 2021, which stopped my periods. A few days ago I noticed I was spotting. My vaginal opening is also a bit itchy. Could this be from the implant? I am also sexually active with one person. Maybe an STD?
