Reply to comment by EmilyU1F984 in In House M. D. there is an episode in which the doc asked the lady who was concerned about weight gain. Doc asked her to raise their hand and by seeing that he was able to determine she was pregnant. Do arms and pregnancy have some correlation? by Abhinav_Mani
The counter-argument to that is that an implant like Nexplanon is highly effective. More effective than condoms or the pill based on actual usage by a decent margin.
1 in 1,000 people using Nexplanon over three years will become pregnant. There’s no such thing as user error once the device has been in place for several weeks.
For condoms, the practical efficacy rate is about 87% per year. For the pill, it’s about 93%.

It‘s 6 USD per year to test monthly, a non medical abortion runs you at least 300USD, having to birth the child risks you half a million or death and permanent disfigurement plus the psychological trauma of being forced to carry a baby to term.
Seems like with the 1 in 1000 rate per 3 years, it’s advisable to just test.
