Hi,
If you had your implant removed just four weeks ago, it would be unlikely that you would have ovulated and had intercourse within that 24-hour period, in order to already be feeling effects of early pregnancy. It is not impossible...just highly unlikely at this point.
Women who are not using any type of birth control "only" have a 20% chance of pregnancy with each cycle, and since you just stopped using the implant, it just creates an unlikely scenario for conception with this one-time occurrence. Before trying to conceive, it is best to allow your body one "regular" cycle with a menstrual period, after stopping the use of hormonal contraception...even if for the fact of being able to tell an OB/GYN when the first day of your last menstrual period began.
When you are using hormonal contraception (like the implant), you do not actually have menstrual periods (the bleeding you experience is withdrawal bleeding). It is impossible to know when your menstrual period will begin, since hormonal contraception prevents ovulation. In other words: you have not been ovulating or having a menstrual period with the use of your implant. However, now that you are no longer using the implant, you most likely will ovulate and have a menstrual period this next cycle. Most women's menstrual periods begin about 2 weeks after ovulation.
