Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Oral Contraceptive?

I had unprotected sex with a girl who went and had the birth control stick implanted in her, after only 3 days and may have came in her. Since she is on th birth control she probably insnt pregnant right? The doctor said that it worjs right away but we should wait a week and did not.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The implant stick ( nexplanon) is to be inserted within 5 days of menses ideally, if not so 7 days of back up contraceptive.. for Nexplanon is not active till then.
So your friend did not have contraceptive protection, and she does have risk of conception.. in case the day of sex co insides with her ovulation.
At the moment, you should wait till it's 8 days dealy in menses & then go for urine pregnancy test( in case she does not get her menses.). It will confirm/ exclude pregnancy.
Even if she is pregnannt, it is advised to get it removed by MTP... as hormone in nexplanon may harm baby.
thanks.
