What happens if your pregnant and have implanon?
I got implanon today. They asked if I have had unprotected sex and I told them yes but they didn't test me. What would happen if I was pregnant? Would it harm the baby?

I'm sorry but your doctor is really dumb. You've missed 3 periods, that is reason for a pregnancy test. Since your last period was 3 months ago and you had it after you got off the pill, it is very very likely that you are pregnant. no form of birth control is 100% besides abstinance which is not having sex at all. This far along, any pregnancy test should be able to give you a positive if you are pregnant so get a hpt. If you are, I'm sure you'll have a thing or two to say to that doctor and get a new one.
