Can Pregnancy Occur Despite Having The Nexplanon Birth Control Implant?
Could the Nexplanon birth control implant cause a false negative pregnancy test? i have had it for about 3 months. i had one period when i was supposed to. and after that i started getting all the pregnancy symptoms and i m now gaining weight. i have been pregnant before so i know what it feels like.

Hello,
Nexplanon implant is the most effective method of birth control — except for abstinence. For women using the contraceptive implant, the chances of getting pregnant are less than 1%.
So it is very unlikely for you to become pregnant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
