    Each time I have had implanon inserted, I have never gotten a single period. It is a very common side effect of the implant. The only cases of people being pregnant while on implanon, have occurred because they were already pregnant 'before' having it inserted - they were just unaware of that at the time because it was too early to show on a HTP. Implanon is a very effective contraceptive.

    I'm just making sure I'm not at the moment but we forgot to use extra protection just after I finished some antibiotics that I was prescribed so I have no idea where in my cycle I might have been if I didn't have the implant (although still BFing may also impact that too) - and I like POAS syndrome
