I've had the implanon in for 1.5 years. i didn't get a full period until now. has it weakened to the point to worry about getting pregnant?

Dr. J Ricardo Loret De Mola answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: The implant is over 99 per cent effective, which means less than one in 1, 000 women using it over three years will become pregnant. It last for 3 years and its still active for you, even if you are having menses.
