A member asked:
I got the arm implant last month on july 13th, my last period was also during that week. i had sex two weeks after getting the implant, and my period was supposed to start yesterday (8/09) but i never received it. is this due to the implant?

If the implant was with a progestin such as with Nexplanon implants, your period may not revert to regularity, as ovulation may be delayed or absent. If other symptoms occur (breast tenderness, nausea, etc.), obtain a "home" pregnancy test, in another five days to be certain.
