I just recently got the nexplanon implant (Friday). And so far it's been very sore and tender to touch. How long until the birth control start taking effect and how long until bruising heals?

Question

Answer

My OBGYN recommended waiting a month to have sex so that you can make it completely through a cycle and know that it's effective. She also said the bruise will go away in about a week

Answer

If you have it put in when your on your period it's effective straight away, if not then it takes 7 days. As for the bruising, it heals quickly, few days to a week x

Answer

When I had it I was told it took affect right away but to wait at least a week to have any sex ... As the being sore it al varies my was just really sensitive to touch and you do feel a little pain after like little pokes ...but I think it's definately  worst when they remove it
