My implanon has been expired for 17 months and I ve been having pregnancy symptoms, sore breast, headaches, abdominal pains, bloating. Haven t taken a test because I m scared of the results but me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant but nothing. Can I get pregnant with a expired implanon? Please help really trying to get pregnant.

Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic,

I am Dr.Naveed Ullah khan,

I have read your question in detail and will try to help you in the best way possible.

Expired means that it doesnt work and you should get pregnant if there is no other problems. The symptoms that u describes plus absent menstruation could mean you arw pregnant so i suggest not being scares of the urine pregna cy test and get one from a store and do it.
If you are not pregnant yet and u want to be pregnant then wait for 12 months of unprotectwd sexual intercourse and if still no pregnancy then u and ur husband should both go see a doctor and have a complete workup and find out the reason.


I hope this answered all your queries, if you have more queries,I will be happy to answer.

Wish you the best of health.

Regards.
