Has anyone been pregnant on the implant?

Hi there, I have had the implant in for a year and a half now and there has been no problems with it however for the past 5 weeks my boobs have been in agony where I literally cant touch them, the veins are becoming more visible, the nipples are darker and one has leaked. Apart from that I am constantly feeling sick and have been sick a couple of times, I cant look at alcohol without my stomach doing summer saults. I am really bloated and when I breathe in my stomach doesn't seem to go any where and constantly tired. I have took a few tests where they have all came back negative however I have been to the doctor where they have took blood tests so just waiting on the results, I was just wondering has anyone ever been pregnant on the implant? I know it is known to be the best contraception but I just don't feel right.

Hi there, I just spotted this one today and possibly you have a clear yes or no on your pregnancy by now. It's possible to get pregnant on implant - though it's extremely rare. Usually, implants are safer than pills where there is a chance of missing a dose - that's all it takes to get pregnant for some. The symptoms, however, could simply be high progesterone in your system - which depends on the type of implant you have. Pregnancy symptoms are not much different to PMS owing to both being progesterone mediated. If it's a progesterone only implant then a malfunction to release a greater dose is all it takes for such pregnancy symptoms to appear. Do update me about the beta results though - if it's a negative on it rest assure that it's progesterone overdose and get your implant checked and if need be replaced with a new one. Stay well!!
