Q: can egg be fertilized while on nexplanon? does nexplanon truly prevent fertilization or does it also alter the lining of uterus as a secondary control?

: The drug works primarily to prevent egg release. No egg=no pregnancy. The drug also makes the uterine lining less receptive to implantation if an egg were ever to release. (a backup safety effect)
