i have the implant, and im on the pill too, to control my cycle as the implant has caused me problems.
been on antibiotics for 3 weeks which naturally would affect the pills effectiveness (but not implant).
however im feelin very sick and havin major aversions to things. could being on antibiotics have affected my implant because im on the pill too?
just need to clarify.

If you were only on pills, ciprofloxacin might decrease their effectiveness for a little but since you use both pills and implanon there shouldn't be any additional risk for unwanted pregnancy.
