A member asked:

If nexplanon stops ovulation, could my fertility be theoretically be extended by using the implant in my twenties and removing it in my late thirties?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nexplanon: Nexplanon is a progestin implant, and if ovulation is inhibited on occasion, it does not "extend fertility", since fertility depends only on the availability of eggs in the ovaries. Fertility begins to decline in one's mid-thirties, and the only way to preserve fertility is to freeze the eggs after extraction from the ovary for later artificial insemination.
