Its highly unlikely you could be as its rare that antibiotics affect the implanon so i doubt you'll be pregnant as its mainly the pill that is affected
However if in doubt, take a pregnancy test :-) might clear your mind

Hi leah,
Some antibiotics, not all of them, have effects on your hormonal balance and that way, even if you are not on any form of oral contraception, they can cause irregularities in your period and have an effect on birth control pill efficiency. But, as far as implanon is concerned, most antibiotics have little effect on it because implanon, unlike the pill, releases hormones all the time.
Still, it is possible that hormones in combinations with both infection and antibiotics are causing you to feel more pms symptoms and make you worried because these symptoms are almost the same as the ones that happen during early pregnancy. Cramping and breast tenderness are most commont signs of pms, so… test if the period gets late, but this still doesn’t have to mean anything.
