Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello Bernadette,

An implanon that is out of date may not be effective in protecting you from pregnancy. If you do not desire pregnancy, it would be best to use condoms with sex until you see a doctor and get another form of birth control.

Good luck to you and thanks for using Health Care Magic.
