Hi
Implanon is a long-acting (up to 3 years), reversible, hormonal contraceptive method. The implant must be removed by the end of the third year and may be replaced by a new implant at the time of removal, if continued contraceptive protection is desired.So you need to check with your doctor whether implanon has reached expiration and remove the implant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
