Nexplanon

Hi ladies ! So I'm getting the nexplanon birth control next week I'm still in high school so I definitely do not want to have a baby so I'm taking steps to prevent that ( don't judge at least I'm being smart about it) and I was just wondering how effective is it ? And if you do use this birth control method how long have you been using it to prevent pregnancy? Also how long should I wait before having sex ? I hear a week but then I hear a month some tips would be helpful
