Hello, I am in the same situation now and my dates are similar to yours. I was wondering if you found anything out yet? I got confused and believed that implanon was effective for 5 years instead of three!
I read that a study was done where off label implanon last 4 years. Then I read it ineffective after 3... then read stories of women getting pregnant on implanon! The internet is a scary place to find this all out!
I am going to the doctor tomorrow I will let you know how it goes. Sometimes sitting down with the doctor is best way to go about it hahaha.
it is nice in a way to know I am not alone in this situation. I look forward to know how it goes for you.

It could be either. There's no way to tell you that one.
