Hi,
The birth control implant you have has progesteron derivative as an active hormone for contraception. Irregular menses, breast tenderness & weight gain are known side effects of the hormone.Its not a sign of pregnancy.
Though the effects are more evident in first few months of insertion, you need to control weight gain by lifestyle management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
