overweight and birth control?
Hi,
I'm a female 21yrs old. I'm 5'5 and weigh close to or either 300lbs. I got super drunk one night and made bad decisions and ended up having unprotected sex with a guy. I have the birth control Nexplanon. I got it inserted in June of 2015 , the summer before I went to college. I'm now a junior in college and will be needing a new implant this summer in June. I read in several articles online that Nexplanon may not be as effective in overweight women/it runs out quicker so I may not be fully protected. Does anyone have any information on this? Is there a chance I could be pregnant? Did my Nexplanon run out? Does my weight affected it that much? Please help! Thanks so much!
