Hi,

Thanks for posting in HCM.

Birth control implant like Implanon. You can use a single IMPLANON implant for up to 3 years. The IMPLANON implant must be removed after 3 years.
Beyond 3 years (after expiry) the implant does not offer any protection against pregnancy. A new implant should be inserted under the skin after taking out the old one if you choose to continue using IMPLANON for birth control.

Hence, since you say that you had unprotected intercourse after the expiry of IMPLANON, there was a high chance of becoming pregnant.

Although a week late, since you got your periods means that you are not pregnant this time.

Hope the information provided is useful.
All the best.
