Hello
thanks for your query.
IMplant would not affect the WBC count.
Raised WBC count indicates an infection somewhere in the body, and unless accompanied by symptoms, you have no cause of worry.
Also the abnormal period could be because of the implant.
Anxiety, stress, hypothyroidism, weight changes and polycystic ovaries could also be responsible.
Please consult a gynecologist.
