Does Implanon Implantation During Pregnancy Cause Fetal Harm?
i had an implanon fitted in june 2007 i wasnt given a pregnancy test, i had irregular bleeding afterwards and put on a little weight but that was all and i was told to expect that so i carried on as normal. in january 2008 i woke in severe pain and phoned an abulance i was then told i was in labour and had a baby boy who weighed 7 pound 6 i ws told he was a full term baby so i must have been 3 months pregnant at the time the implanon was fitted!!!!! My son is now 2 and a half but his testicles have not developed properly do u think this could be down to me having the implanon while pregnant??????
Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
The medicine content of Implanon usually does not have any major effects on the baby. Though it can have some effect on the external genitals of baby girl , but usually there are no known effects on baby boy.
I will suggest you to get USG of testes done for your son and also consult with pediatric surgeon.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar.
