Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. As for any other mode of contraception, there is a slight failure rate for the implant too. If you are not sure of the home pregnancy test, you can go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres to confirm/exclude pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests should be done 3-7 days after the missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. A trans-vaginal sonogram done a week later can give the status of the pelvic organs and clarify the situation. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
