Hello dear
Understand your concern
Implanon is 99 percent effective so chance of pregnancy is one percent. You should go for pregnancy test if period is missed by 10 days that confirm the pregnancy. Spotting and abdominal cramp may be side effects of implanon. Following are the side effects of it: spotting, irregular periods, amenorrhea pain and cramps in abdomen and breast tenderness. If period will not come, consult the gynecologist and go for ultrasound and hormone testing that rule out cause like pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine pathology.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
