Get yourself checked: Symptoms like throwing up etc soon after an implant device deserve a closer look for the possibility of an infection in which case the device may need to be removed.

Pregnancy test: Do a pregnancy test. Implanon is one of the most effective birth-control methods there is but its still not 100%. Best wishes!
