What happens if you are pregnant when you get an implant?

If you are pregnant when you get the implant, you may not notice as the implant can make your periods irregular and absent. It's important to take a pregnancy test three weeks after starting the contraceptive implant to make sure you hadn't gotten pregnant in the days before the insertion. If you are pregnant, you can still decide to continue or terminate the pregnancy; the implant doesn't change that decision. If you decide to continue, you'll have the implant removed. If you decide on abortion, the implant will be left in so you have protection immediately after the termination.
