Hello,
Having hypothyroidism is no contraindication to use a contraceptive implant.Continue your thyroid replacement tablets regularly and go for it.
You might have some irregular bleeding in the first few days but then things would settle down soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
