Could Having Unprotected Sex And Missed Periods While Being On Implanon Cause Pregnancy?
I was in hospital at the end of January excessive bleeding & clotting .. tests done all clear and was advised to have implanon implant out ASAP which I did.. Weeks following I had unprotected sex with my new partner & still have not had a period although I had pregnancy urine & blood tests done over 2 weeks ago which proved negative? Could I still be pregnant and should I do another urine test? Thank you.. .. never mind I will see my GP again who bulk bills my account & try & find out what is going on..

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1 ) First of all do not panic.
2 ) I will suggest you to get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy, at least 15 to 20 days after your last episode of unprotected sex act.
In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.
Tests done earlier than this period may not give predictable results.
3 ) If you are not pregnant then you can simply wait for the onset of periods or induce the periods with progesterone tablets. Your treating doctor can guide you further about it.
4 ) Even If you are pregnant, you can opt for termination of the pregnancy with medicines safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy under medical supervision.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
