General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
it is unlikely that you could become pregnant when you have birth control implant. Failure rate to protect against pregnancy is about 1%. Brown discharge and intermittent spotting could be experienced as side effects while on birth control implants.
In your case, it would be advisable to take up urine pregnancy test in case there is delay in periods. Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for evaluation and examination for the misplaced implant too.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
