    THe doctor that did it didn't tell you? Also it's a good idea to still use condoms as the implant offers zero protect against STD's of any type... including HPV which is epidemic in the youth today (numbers of 28% infected and growing). No form of birth control is 100% effective and using both greatly decreases the odds of still becoming pregnant.
