A member asked:
Is it dangerous to have nexplanon implant in after 3 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but may not work: Nexplanon is approved by the FDA for use for 3 years. It is not dangerous to keep it longer but the effectiveness at preventing pregnancy is unproven beyond 3 years. Some countries use it for 4 but not here in the US. You live in Texas. If you do not have insurance for a replacement apply to the Healthy Texas Women program and the removal and replacement will be free
