Can you get pregnant when you have the implant?

Dr Rosemary Leonard

Only around 1 in 3,000 sexually active women using the implant will become pregnant each year, often because they were actually pregnant at the time of insertion. This is the lowest contraceptive failure rate of any method, including sterilisation (male or female). In fact in most studies of the implant, no women became pregnant at all.
