Hello and welcome,
The chances of pregnancy with implanon in place are extremely low.
The implant itself causes irregular or missed periods as well as pregnancy like symptoms like breast discomfort, weight gain etc. However frequent bowel or urine is not due to implanon.
If you suspect pregnancy, it is better to get it ruled out with a simple home pregnancy test. If it is negative then may be the implant is producing the symptoms and there should be no further worries.
Hope this was helpful.
