Can I Be Pregnant With Implant As Symptoms Like Spotting And Tiredness?

Hi, I have a question. I m on the Implant which I had put in my arm in March, with my partner we have ofc had unprotected sex a couple of times since then. My period last month (April) (which I m still getting now) started couple of days early, & has just been brown discharge (spotting) no actual fresh red blood...I ve had this well over a week following into the new month of (May) which is strange for me, as I m usually regular! I m also feeling a lot more tired, lack of energy and suddenly feel queasy that I m afraid of eating anything. I ve taken pregnancy tests but all 3 came out negative. It s not possible to get pregnant on the Implant is it ? or is this the Implant creating these problems? I m actually nervous now, even though having the implant in, still hasn t given me the comfort of don t worry you can t get pregnant , my partner s also very worried as we both don t want children at this point in time.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Contraceptive implants have the side effect of irregular bleeding and spotting, tiredness, lethargy and breast engorgement due to its hormonal effect. So, you are having these side effects.
The chances of pregnancy while on contraceptive implant is almost nil.
There is absolutely nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
