Will A Contraceptive Implant Affect Pregnancy Test?
I had the implant inserted nearly a year ago, and i have had no side effects. the past week or so, i have been having pregnancy symptoms. What are the chances that i could be pregnant, and if i take a pregnancy test, will the implant have any effect on the result?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.No it will not effect the test results.
2.But getting pregnant with a device inserted will be unsuccessful pregnancy.
3.Soon or later it will endue with missed abortion.
4.Urget thing - if you have any doubt of pregnancy - get an ultrasound for confirmation - at the same time the position of the device, presence of Gsac, possibilities of removal of device.
5.Get a urine pregnancy test done - for home test. And do accordingly.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
