Delayed Periods, Gooey Brown Discharge. History Of Being On Nexplanon, Irregular Periods, Unprotected Sex. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi! I had sex with my parter, we used a condom but it broke. I have the nexplanon implant, and had it for about 3 weeks at the time of sex. I missed my period, but my period has been really irregular due to the insert. Today I got a gooey brown discharge, and my period is 6 days late. Should I be worried about pregnancy?

Hello
thanks for using health care magic

Nexplanon is one of the most effective contraceptive methods with

failure rates of only 0.05%.

Haven been on the nexplanon for three weeks at the time of the un-

protected sexual intercourse, it is less likely that you could be have

fallen pregnant.

Nexplanon is a progesteron contraceptive with side effects such as

irregular bleeding, irregular bleeding, absent menses etc.

You could take a pregnancy test with early morning urine so as to be

re-assured there is no pregnancy.

Best regards
