A member asked:

What are the chances of getting pregnant while having the nexplanon implant? ive had it in for 2 years & 8 months & im having a few pregnancy symptoms

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nexplanon: The failure rate of Nexplanon is .05% so the chances of pregnancy are very low. If you think you are pregnant, do a pregnancy test.
