Tag: Progestin only birth control

Nexplanon is a progestin-only birth control implant used by millions of women that is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy [1.2.3, 1.3.5]. A common question is, **does Nexplanon deplete estrogen levels** since it does not contain the hormone itself? [1.2.3, 1.2.5]

Estrogen-containing birth control is a popular contraceptive method, but it is not safe for everyone. Individuals with specific health conditions must be evaluated carefully to determine who should not take estrogen birth control due to potentially serious health risks.
