I have been using the implanon now for 10 years getting it changed every 3 years as your ment to. I have always had it removed and replaced the same day. At the end of April I had it renewed and got a new one put in. I had sex 11 days afterwards and the condom broke, I didnt think even think to get the morning after pill, so I missed that opportunity. Im so paranoid about getting pregnant hence why Ive been using the implanon for 10 years now, I never had an issue in the past with unprotected sex. My question is when you get it re-newed is it effective immediately because the drug is still in your system or did the do the right thing waiting 11 days. Just want to know if Im covered. I know it can mess up your periods as it has in the past and in the last 6 weeks that Ive had the new one in my arm I have only had the tiniest bleed that lasted 1 day. Is this also normal I hope you can clear up my concern
Hi, Thanks for writing to us.  The chances of pregnancy in your case are very rare because you are on implant regularly. Menstrual irregularities because of implant also.  But if you are having any doubt go and consult with a gynecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.  Good luck.  Take care.
