Update!: I took one of the clear blue rapid tests and it said negative, I’m going to take the digital one tomorrow when I first wake up to be 100% sure. (Plus I already paid for it so why not?😂)

I have had the nexplanon arm implant for over a year and the entire time I’ve had it, I’ve had a pretty regular period. It doesn’t always end regular but it always starts about the same time each month.

I was taking antibiotics a few weeks ago and my boyfriend and I hadn’t seen each other in a week and we both forgot I was taking antibiotics. (I’ve read on a pharmacy website that they don’t effect the implant but I’ve always just assumed it did in case.)

The antibiotics were for an infected ingrown toenail, not because I was sick. I know that sometimes certain illnesses can cause a delayed period, but I don’t think this one could.

Now my period is a week late and I’m not even spotting at all. I know that with this implant my period could go away for good, but I feel like since I’ve had it for a year that would have happened a long time ago.

Is there a solid chance that I could be pregnant? If there is, I need to call the doctor ASAP to get this implant out. I’ve been in birth control since I was 14 years old so I’ve never dealt much with pregnancy tests. Is it too early to check? Am I being over dramatic?
