Hi, Thanks For the query.I understood your concern. Nexplanon is an implant that supplies hormone progesterone in body ... which causes regular periods &also avoids pregnancy. If you are on Nexplanon .. &if the implant is not displaced from it's placeor broken.... you can not be pregnant. The effects like delayed /disturbed period,nausea,constipation,loose motions or breasr tenderness are sude effects of the implant.ln case of doybt... you can confirm by home pregnancy test . Hormone progesterone slows down the motility of GI tract...which disturbes all digestive function &can cause the symptoms like nausea/constipation/lacj of digestion &loose motions. Thanks.
