Hi, I understand your concern. Implanon is intermediate dose progestrin only contraceptive- which avoids ovulation in most of the cycles- but some maturity of ovarian follicles is possible. Because of this there is a very rare chance of pregnancy with implanon type of contraceptive- specially when it is displaced/ snapped. *So,though weight gain, digestive problems with excess gasses are known side effects of implanon, would suggest abdomnal sonography/ Home pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. It is said that the hormone in implanon does not harm fetus in case of pregnancy- implanon should be removed * Mostly the pregnancy would be -ve- & the dietary restrictions, daily exercises ( specially abdominals), walking along with digestive enzyme supplements would relieve you of the problem. Thanks.
