The implant expired October 1st. My new implant will be implanted at the end of November.
Brief Answer:
Am a bit concerned why it was not replaced immediately!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
am concerned why this was not replaced immediately. Could you please tell me why?
It is not advised to go two months without as you are not protected. Without any implant present, the effectiveness against pregnancy is really minimal and difficult to tell. Be observant and should you notice any changes in your regular cycles, especially a missed period, do a pregnancy test. In the meantime, I will suggest that you always use a protection such as condoms.
I wish you well.
