How Does Implanon Affect Pregnancy?
I am 39 and have been off the pill (implanon and pill at the same time as implanon had side effects) for 1 month to help my body feel better. I had sex with my boyfriend (withdrawal) and DO NOT want to get pregnant. I also have fibroids and a tilted uterus. Do I have a low or high risk of pregnancy? I have only been pregnant once before at 27 and had a termination. Thanks.

Hi,
You have a very low risk of getting pregnant ,but still you need to be careful consider contraception such as condoms.
The reasons you are low risk are your age, fibroids ,titled uterus and also that after Implanon fertility can take a few months to come back.
But still I would advise you to be careful and you barrier method like the condoms.
Withdrawal method has a very high failure rate and cant be relied on.
Hope this helps.
