HI,
Implant contraceptives are known to cause scanty/no periods.The hormone inbuilt in the implant being Progesteron , it also has the breast engorgement as a characteristic effect.
Please don't worry.Pregnancy with implant contraception is rare.
If you are very much tense,you can satisfy yourself by urine pregnancy test after a week.
thanks
