What causes birth control inplant to fail?
Luck or is there element human error like it being placed wrong or not replaced after the three years?
Incorrect insertion can be a problem and yes, if you don't get it replaced after the 3 years.
Also, no contraception is ever 100%. I believe in the Nexplanon (brand of implant) booklet it says over 99% effective - this is still not 100%.
Weight can also prevent the implant from working as well as it should. Many overweight women are advised to get it changed sooner than 3 years.

Yes weight is one factor. I always assumed though that it’s not being overweight as such, like I am 6 foot tall so even not overweight, I still have more mass than someone who is shorter. I started getting periods back after 2 1/2 years so I figured it was “wearing out”
So it’s as low risk as you can get as user error doesn’t really figure in as much as others

I got mine changed in January this year despite it not running out until July. I could just feel that is wasn't right so maybe it running out early is more of an issue that I thought?
I've had the implant for more than 6 years, this is now my 3rd one. I started to bleed again in January and my boobs got really sore which is not something that normally happens to me with the implant in. The contraceptive nurse I spoke to advised that they don't really 'run out' and that I might just be reacting differently. I insisted I wanted it changing and since I have had it changed, everything has been normal again.
You just have to know your body I guess. Which I know can be hard for people using contraception for the first time.
Yeah I went back to the depo injection as didn’t totally trust it. Depo work fine for me, just got to be organised to get it done every 12 weeks.
