A member asked:

I spotted on implanon a few days ago and just had sex today. do i have a greater chance of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No you should not: Implanon releases a constant dose of a progestin which prevents you from ovulating thereby reducing your chances of getting pregnant whether you experience some vaginal spotting or bleeding. Therefore, you should not have " a greater chance of pregnancy" .
