Posted on Wed, 29 Apr 2020

Question: Hi! If I was having sex with my boyfriend and he was close to finishing but pulled out, and I have been on nexplanon for three months, can you tell me my risk for pregnancy?

Answered by Dr. Shinas Hussain (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Nexplanon is a very effective contraceptive method and the failure rate is very low, and also the ejaculation didn’t happen inside.

So nothing much to worry and pregnancy is unlikely.

You can go for a urine pregnancy test in case of the missed period for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks

Irregular period is a common adverse effect with nexplanon and it will settle by itself in most of the cases.
It does not indicates pregnancy.
