Will Other Birth Control Methods Be Effective While On Nexplanon?
I was on birth control pills and I got a Nexplanon inserted the day I started taking the week of sugar pills. The DR said the Nexplanon takes 7 days to be effective but will my other birth control still be in effective since I didn t miss any pills?
