A member asked:

I have been taking 50 mg of minocycline, 2/daily. the problem is that i have the nexplanon for birth control and unprotected sex. could i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very little chance: Nexplanon by itself is adequate contraception, which means one's chances of pregnancy are the same low chance while using Nexplanon, with or without condoms. If still worried, one can do a home pregnancy test 3 weeks after sex. The antibiotic minocycline should not change the effectiveness of Nexplanon.
