Today, after I got the birth control implant, waited a week like my doctor told me, my fiancé is still too scared that I'll get pregnant. It's been 2 months. FML

I mean, with a fiancée, this wouldn't be a problem. A fiancé, however, is another story.

As they say in middleschool, the only way to not get pregnant is abstinence!

Gak. The timeline on this FML is awful.

It's a little bit weird. I would assume that you had sex before since he's your fiance. So what birth control did you use then? Does he just not understand how those implants work? Or does he want to avoid sex in general because of his fear? If it's the latter it was very shitty of him to not talk about before you got engaged and before you got the implant which costs some money and ***** with your body. Plus even if there is an accident, there is this great thing called abortion which enables you to make decisions over your own body. If he doesn't trust you with this either then it's probably best if he doesn't have sex with a woman.

Maybe they used condoms and he prefers something he can actually see working. Abortion is not for everyone, prevention is better than cure.

I had the iud because my man was scared to get me pregnant too. We waited 1 day. I'm sure your guy will come around eventually.

Just because they're engaged doesn't mean they've had sex before. Some people prefer to wait for a variety of reasons, not always religious ones. And if he's afraid of her getting pregnant, why would he be cheating? And he's engaged to her, it's unlikely that he's gay, that also has nothing to do with anything. Saying he'll "come around" is incredibly offensive. He's not required to sleep with her, even while engaged or married. It is something they should talk about obviously. But nothing about the situation makes sex mandatory.

You actually can divorce your spouse if they refuse to have sex in marriage. There is a certain amount of time you have to consummate the marriage before the marriage is considered invalid. I learned that when I had to put "reason" on my divorce papers.

You can still use condoms even if you have an implant

The implant is more effective than a vasectomy or getting your tubes tied, does he know that? (According to the CDC)

You could double or triple up on bc by using other kinds too.

Sounds like OP's partner has some major anxiety going on. It might be worth making a plan for what they'd do if OP *did* get pregnant, just so they know they're both on the same page, and it doesn't feel like such a big scary end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it, panic stations situation - since as other people have noted, any contraception can fail.

All birth control have an initial waiting period of 3 months to become effective. So unless you switched between birth control, like from the pill to the implant, so your fiancé is correct. Wait another month.

Most hormonal types of bc are actually effective after 3 weeks (one cycle). Physical barriers like an IUD are effective immediately.
