Hello,

Having hypothyroidism is no contraindication to use a contraceptive implant.Continue your thyroid replacement tablets regularly and go for it.

You might have some irregular bleeding in the first few days but then things would settle down soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
