A member asked:

Is nexplanon birthcontrol still highly effective by the second year?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nexplanon: Nexplanon is generally as effective in the 2nd year as the first, but does affect timing of ovulation, which will delay a period. If you have symptoms of pregnancy, get a serum HCG test to be certain.
