A member asked:

I had the implanon inserted last week a day after my period was due, but it still hasn't started. pregnancy test is negative, but could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can retest in 1 week: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.
