A member asked:

Can you get a period and have pregnancy symptoms? im on nexplanon and i feel pregnant i feel very hungry and sleepy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side Effect: Nexplanon is a Progesterone only birth control method. Progesterone levels are normally elevated just prior to your menstrual period and also in pregnancy. So using a progesterone only method can make you feel pregnant, hungry and sleepy. If this is new for you, you might do a home pregnancy test to be sure. But most likely it is a side-effect of Nexplanon. Best wishes!
