Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I have read you query and I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.
Following is my reply:
1) There is a possibility of pregnancy though you are on implanon as there are failure rates.
2) But then pregnancy test is not always accurate to predict pregnancy.
3) Hence best option would be to do serum beta hCG blood test. This will accurately predict pregnancy. You can take further decision based on this blood test.
I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.
Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.
