Call your healthcare professional right away if you think you are pregnant or have unexplained lower stomach (abdominal) pain. Ectopic pregnancies can cause serious internal bleeding, infertility, and even death. If you become pregnant while using NEXPLANON, you have a slightly higher chance that the pregnancy will be ectopic (occurring outside the womb) than do women who do not use birth control. The time between periods may vary, and you may also have spotting in between periods. You may experience longer or shorter bleeding during your periods or have no bleeding at all. In studies, one out of ten women stopped using the implant because of an unfavorable change in their bleeding pattern. The most common side effect of NEXPLANON is a change in your normal menstrual bleeding pattern. Use a back-up birth control method and call your healthcare professional right away if the implant comes out. You may become pregnant if the implant comes out by itself. Additionally, the implant may come out by itself. Other problems related to insertion and removal may also occur, including vasovagal reactions (such as a drop in blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting), pain, irritation, swelling, bruising, numbness and tingling, scarring, infection, injury to the nerves or blood vessels, and breaking of the implant. If the implant is not removed, then the effects of NEXPLANON will continue for a longer period of time. Special procedures, including surgery in the hospital, may be needed to remove the implant. Removal of the implant may be very difficult or impossible if the implant is not where it should be. If this happens, you may become pregnant. The implant may not be actually in your arm due to failed insertion.

You may need special tests to check that the implant is in place or to help find the implant when it is time to take it out. If at any time you cannot feel the NEXPLANON implant, contact your healthcare professional immediately and use a non-hormonal birth control method (such as condoms) until your healthcare professional confirms that the implant is in place. Immediately after the NEXPLANON implant has been placed, you and your healthcare professional should check that the implant is in your arm by feeling for it. These medicines will be used when the implant is placed into or removed from your arm.
