How soon after removing nexplanon can you get pregnant

In clinical trials, pregnancies were observed to occur as early as 7 to 14 days after removal. In clinical trials with the non-radiopaque etonogestrel implant (IMPLANON®), the etonogestrel levels in blood decreased below sensitivity of the assay by one week after removal of the implant.

The doctor or nurse will make a tiny cut in your skin to gently pull the implant out. As soon as the implant has been removed, you'll no longer be protected against pregnancy.
