A member asked:

Is there any risk of getting pregnant if i'm 6 days in of getting my nexplanon implant and just had unprotected sex? should i take plan b?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It takes 7 days for nexplanon to be fully effective however to be safe, I recommend using condoms consistently for 2 weeks after having nexplanon inserted. I would consider taking emergency contraception and I would use condoms for at least a week more.
