    Question Please help!

    hey guys!

    just wondering if anyone could help! ok so i have had the implanon implant in for close to 1year. My AF has been SPOT ON not a day late since having it in until this month- i am 16days late, i did a HPT 1 week ago and it came up BFN.

    my question is- can having the implanon implant in lower your HCG levels if you were to fall pregnant on it resulting in a later detection of pregnancy using HPT?

    i know the implanon can mess with your AF but my doctor said due to my age (under 23) i am less likely to get the side effects and if my AF were to stop or change it would of within the first few months!

    TIA

    about a year after my implanon insertion I started bleeding again - prior to that I'd missed my periods. Maybe see your doc? It could just be your body reacting to it differently...

    I doubt that you are pregnant. There have been very few pregnancies reported world wide in women using a properly inserted implanon. What is more likely is that the hormones are supressing your periods.

    I was 20 when I got my first implanon, and it did mean I didn't have my periods, so the age explanation doesn't hold for everyone.
