Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

A contraceptive implant is an implantable medical device used for the purpose of birth control. Failure rate of less than 1% while on such implants. Although it stats it's action from day 1 after insertion, it is advisable to use other forms of contraceptives like condoms and spermicidal agents during the first 2 weeks after the insertion of implants.

Hope I have answered your query.
