Answered by Specialist Doctor I Pham Thi Yen - Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is it dangerous to get pregnant after implanting a contraceptive? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Contraceptive implants are small plastic tubes containing birth control pills, which are implanted under the skin of a woman's non-dominant hand. The ingredients in the implant include the hormone levonorgestrel or etonogestrel - a hormone that has so far not been shown to cause harm to the fetus.
Some studies also show that if you miss a pregnancy while using the implant, you can continue nursing, remove the implant and participate in the antenatal screening program like all other pregnant women.
Therefore, you should first go for a prenatal check-up to see if the fetus is stable, then remove the birth control stick and have regular antenatal check-ups according to the appointment of the obstetrician.
If you still have questions about pregnancy after implantation, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
