Best to test: Pregnancy symptoms don’t always mean pregnancy is present but best to do a pregnancy test, since the implant is primarily a progesterone hormone which does not usually cause such symptoms. The implant is usually quite effective in preventing pregnancy but not quite 100% effective. If your pregnancy test is negative I recommend follow up with the provider who placed the implant
