A member asked:
When i go back to my clinic for my next depo-provera (5/5/15), can i get the nexplanon installed? i was told i would have to wait 12 weeks from my last shot?

Nexplanon: if it's has been 12 weeks then you probably can. However, don't go to the clinic for a shot and expect them to put an implant in your arm. You need to schedule an appointment for the implant so they have the appropriate amount of time. They also may want to have an appointment before hand to sign consent forms and do any authorizations with your insurance. Call now to find out.
