Nexplanon Malfunction??

I have a nexplanon implant right now. I'm just wondering if it's possible for it to malfunction, and I could get pregnant?? It expires in 5 months... I'm only a weak late, currently... and my cycle has started coming every 40 days the last few months, so I go by after the 40-day mark to be late. My stress gives me pregnancy symptoms lol and i've been feeling pregnant to be honest... but I don't want to test yet. Mostly because I do not want to waste money on testing to just realize that i'm not. Idk what I'm thinking honestly... just worried and wanting perspective

Have you felt your implant top to bottom?

@Destiny I can feel it and it feels flexible... like I can bend it

It wasn't like that when I got it tho

It doesn’t feel broken does it like in the center? I had the nexplanon in which it broke then I started having lots of issues out of it

@Destiny it doesn't feel broken

@Destiny I can bend it into a U shape...

Okay I’m sorry I really don’t know it might be just a fluke but would take a test in case as well

@Destiny according to google, it shouldn't be able to bend like that and could mean it's malfunctioning. I tried calling the hospital.I was transferred several times and hung up on

I would contact your OB in the morning they should be able to get you in that day and take it out

Just be careful, nexplanon has a lawsuit right now for causing brain tumors

@Destiny i don't have an OB here... my kid is a toddler, and i've had this in for almost three years. I finally got a hold of an ER and they told me that I could come in and get it removed if I wanted and take a pregnancy test.

@Kotah Brain tumors?!?!

Okay just keep us updated sending prayers

@Kotah I had mine break in my arm and it caused me to have blood clots in my legs and my bleeding to be really heavy and painful it’s horrific and wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Yes!! Multiple women online have said they developed small cysts in the brain or brain tumors from it. If you google it or check out tik tok women talk about it and are getting surgery for it soon. I’m sure you can also see the lawsuit that’s going on about it 😔. The Depo shot also has a lawsuit right now

@Destiny omg I’m so sorry that happened to you. That’s so scary 😩

@Kotah it really is scary I mean it worked well until it broke and now I just don’t even take birth control because of the side effects

My implant made me bleed for nearly 10 months straight. If it wasn’t bleeding, it was spotting, I had scans, the pill on top to try and stop it, allsorts. I eventually had enough and had it out. The hormones were way too much!. They told me that it wasn’t working as it was supposed to. I had the coil in, 3 months later, my coil came out 😩

That is super scary, and I'm trying to make an appointment to have it checked just in case. I did take a test and it said negative, but will also test again soon. I truly hope all is well... I honestly want to go off Birth control all together
