Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possibility of pregnancy is less in your case, as when you had intercourse you were still under the effect of the implanon.
The bleeding you got after removal of the implanon could be withdrawal bleeding.
If you do not had intercourse after removal of implanon the possibility of pregnancy is very less.
The symptoms you mentioned could be non-specific due to some other cause.
If you do not get periods one month after withdrawal bleeding, once go for pregnancy test.
Take care.
