I found out my implant got infect with bone loss at 6 weeks of pregnancy. My surgeon said I need to remove the implant and at least do the bone graft. He told me not to wait because the infection looked bad already. Within 2 weeks after seeing him, the site got swollen and big. Ob wants me to wait until 2nd trimester (1 month from now).
