Is It Possible To Get False Negative Because Of The Implanon?
Hi, My name is Jennifer, I ve been on the implanon birth control for almost 3 years (mid august would be the 3yrs) I ve been having pregnancy symptoms for the past month, Ive taken 3 pregnancy tests, all negative but the symptoms wont subside. I ve been also experiencing light pink spotting for a bout a week now (on and off) Is it possible to get a false negative because of the implanon ??

Hi,
Implanon is a progesterone containing contraceptive. The pregnancy like symptoms and intermittent spotting is a side effect of the long acting contraceptive. The negative pregnancy test is because the contraceptive is preventive pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
