Brief Answer:
There is a small possibility of pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

The return to fertility after removal of Implanon can be immediate. XXXXXXX takes seven days to become effective as contraceptive. Therefore there is a possibility of pregnancy.

It is advisable to use emergency contraception if you do not wish to conceive.

I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
