How long does it take for the nexplanon to work?

Are you considering getting Nexplanon but wondering how long it takes before it starts providing effective birth control? Fear not, my curious friend. In this article, we will delve into the mysterious realm of Nexplanon and its timeline for effectiveness.

What is Nexplanon?

For those who are unfamiliar with this wonderous contraceptive method, let us give a quick rundown. Nexplanon is a small rod-shaped implant that is placed just under the skin in your upper arm. It contains a hormone called etonogestrel which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation or fertilization from occurring.

But How Soon Can I Rely on It?

The burning question that we need an answer to already! Fear not; as always, we have got your back covered (literally). Here’s what you should know about how long you need to wait for maximum security:

Immediate Pregnancy Protection

After getting the implant inserted, there isn’t much waiting involved before receiving immediate protection if you follow these guidelines:

  • Get it fitted within 7 days of starting your period: Using any form of contraceptive automatically gets better when combined with timing.
  • Use additional contraception during first seven days: because although regular use right off the bat would be ideal, sometimes that extra week helps settle everything down and make sure all systems are go!

Pay close attention: This means total abstinence-no monkey business whatsoever-including kissing! After one week has passed without any sneaky business, then, rest assured! You’re officially protected against pregnancy!

Full Contraception Coverage

But while instant coverage may seem like heaven-sent news – here comes an even more exciting tidbit! Nowhere near comparable levels to buying wholesale items online vs paying full price -we’d say nex-plan-on sticking around for circumstances regarding such information.

It takes approximately

  • 48 hours after implant for it to start working: that’s like one Bachelor marathon!

Point to Remember: Getting the implant adjusted when necessary provides health benefits such as reduced risk of blood clots, headaches and mood swings. So if you weren’t able to see exactly how much time had passed before becoming sexually active then consider getting it checked/adjusted just in case!

After a couple days wait period (thus giving ample enough reason for a good game day party whilst waiting) from insertion operations all systems will be go-go-go and contraception heaven awaits!

But Extended Wait Time Is Good Too?

In other slightly confusing circumstances, should taken under consideration with your healthcare provider / facility – depending on certain conditions regarding liver functioning or medication used these factors may have an effect meaning different timelines apply:

  1. Waiting timeframe- Taking Carbamazepine, Fenobarbital, Oxbcarbazephine, Phenytoint or Topiramate can affect effectiveness-don’t worry this does not rule out Nexplanon completely!
  2. Recommended full pregnancy prevention timeline is seven days
  3. recommendation by professionals is additional contraceptive use during first month.

Conclusion

Nexplanon might seem like yet into another part of its vast universe filled with ectopic galaxies seeming never-ending but fear not this article has only scratched the surface! Next time you are considering using Nexplanon keep in mind some important facts mentioned earlier such as ideal timing which includes fitting within those precious 7 days of your menstrual starting date — fingers crossed we know what that means now-and also what medication/functioning abilities could affect efficiency.. All-in-all remember our goal here is patience – easy peasy lemon squeezy!
