Hi, I understand your concern. Nexplanon has good contraceptive effect, pregnancy with Nexplanon is rare ( .o5%) & it is also claimed that Nexplanon does not have bad effect on pregnancy.Looking at the negligible chance of pregnancy I would say- * Nexplanon is known to have menstrual irregularity.& emotional disturbances too. The fact that you had menses for first few months in both of your pregnancies before, must have created a doubt with the irregularity of periods.... this in turn might have caused pregnancy like symptoms in your case OR.. It may be due to simple gastritis /digestive disturbances * still you should get your blood pregnancy test done to exclude pregnancy. Thanks.
