How Harmful Is Conceiving While On Implanon?

Hi, I have had the Implanon in my arm for around 3-4 months. A few days ago I did a home pregnancy test and it came back positive then I did a blood test at the doctors which came back positive. I was then told my levels were very low and I m probably not pregnant. I m still worries me that I could be, what would happen to the baby if I was after 3month on the Implanon? Would it survive? I was told I wouldn t need an ultrasound. I m going to the doctors again in a few days to have another blood test just to be 100% sure. Just wondering if I was what the chances of the babies survival would be? And would I have to have surgery?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.

Implanon is type of long-acting reversible contraception, the most effective form of birth control.
It inhibits the ovulation and implantation..

Common side effects of implanon are below:
Irregular bleeding and spotting: Delayed period, dysmenorrhoea
weight gain
Ovarian cysts
Acne
preganancy risk

It has been reported that in some case congenital defects seen in fetus.
For that you have required continuous observation of fetus under USG at 12-16 week.
so consult with fetal medicine branch.
You can do the abortion as medical indication after consult with doctor.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
