Can you get pregnant on the implant?
As this method of contraception is more than 99% effective, it is very rare that you will fall pregnant on the contraceptive implant Because the implant prevents ovulation, no egg is released from the ovaries to be fertilized.
What about if I am being prescribed certain medications?
Certain drugs will reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive implant. St. John’s Wort1, some HIV, epilepsy, and tuberculosis medications, as well as some antibiotics like rifabutinor2 and rifampicin3, are included in this category.
We advise speaking with your doctor to make sure that any medications you are taking won’t interfere with the performance of your implant. Finding a different method of contraception that isn’t affected by your medication is advised if your medication does affect this method.
Speak to one of our helpful doctors at The Lowdown for personalized contraceptive advice during a one-on-one appointment if you’re unsure of which method is best for you.
