unlikely to be pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Its fine that you have taken plan b in case of unprotected sex before the avoidance period of 7 days post nexplanon insertion. You should experience the withdrawal bleed in next 5-7 days and the fresh cycle should start from the day of bleed.
Once bleed occurs, it shall ensure that you are pregnancy safe as well.
