I got nexplanon the day after my period ended and the day after I got the implant my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. My doctor did not say anything about waiting, so I figured I was in the clear. I'm gonna call my gyno on Monday and check. I just wanted to know if anyone knows anything.
How long does it take Nexplanon to work?

7 days is considered safe although some manufacturers recommend 14; the consensus is 7 days. On the upside; you are very unlikely to conceive that early in your period.
