A member asked:

Just turned 2 years on nexplanon birthcontrol this month and missed a period can this be normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nexplanon: Nexplanon is a progestin implant form of birth control, and ovultation may occasionally be delayed, with a consequent "missed period". If you are concerned about pregnancy, wait 10-14 days and if you have not had your period, obtain a serum HCG test to make certain about pregnancy.
