Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy While On Birth Control?

This is my second implanon and it expired the beginning of February. I have had unprotected sex but my question is do I have a chance of getting pregnant? Also, when I get it removed and get a new one put in will that cause me any problems of being infertile since that ll be nine years of being on birth control consecutively.

Hi, I think if your implant expired in February, you are at risk of pregnancy. So, use some other methods of contraceptive like condoms. Long duration of birth control can lead to suppressed ovulation and it may take 6 months to one year for ovaries to regain it's function. So, there can be some problems in conceiving. Hope I have answered your question.
