On Implanon. Chances Of Multiple Pregnancies Due To This Medication?

I am 28 years old and have been using Implanon as birth control since 2005. Recently my husband and I decided we would like another child but I have some concerns.
Is there a chance of multiple births due to the implanon?
I was diagnosed with HELLP with my first son and almost died during labor. What are the chances of this happening again?
Is there any long term side effects from prolonged use of the Implanon (i have had it replace 3 times, no breaks in between)

Hi.
Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.

It will take a while for you to get regular menstrual cycles since you were on implanon for a long time. However, implanon does not result in multiple births. Although implanon suppresses ovulation, once it is removed and the cycles are restored, it will not interfere with ovulation and does not result in release of multiple eggs from ovary.

The recurrence rate of HELLP (Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count) is reported to be high in many women and so you should be very careful during your pregnancy. Periodic check up, avoidance of stress factors, balanced and nutritious diet are absolutely necessary if you conceive.

I hope this is useful to you.
