Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
No,Nexplanon doesn't affect results of urine pregnancy test.It doesn't give false negative results.
Your symptoms may be due to other reasons.
If you have strong doubt then you can repeat UPT after one week.UPT may be false negative in early days of pregnancy due to less HCG hormone in urine.
However Ultrasound of pelvis is the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
