A member asked:

If i use contraceptive pill and implanon at the same time, is it harder to get pregnant or no?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No need for pill: If you have a contraceptive implant in your arm, that is highly effective for 3 years. You should not take birth control pills in addition.
