Those with uteri who have no history of breast cancer or blood clots can use the birth control implant. Implants are incredibly effective at preventing unwanted pregnancy and can alleviate PeriodProblems.
Depending on which type of implant a person gets, she can receive continuous contraceptive protection for three to five years. Those with uteri who want to protect themselves against pregnancy for the long term can benefit from the implant. Because the pill needs to be taken every day at the same time to get the most protection, it can be less effective if it is not taken consistently or on time.
Drinking alcohol or becoming sick can interfere with the effectiveness of the pill. In contrast, once an implant is inserted, the person does not have to do anything else to get the benefits of the implant for many years. It offers an array of other health benefits as well such as regulating periods, reducing acne, and treating symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Those who use a longterm form of birth control such as the implant can also lower their risk of uterine cancers. For those who have an existing prescription, we can transfer it into our system so you can SkipTheTrip to the pharmacy.

I remember when I was having mine taken out and she had to snap it because it had moved across my arm abit and she struggled to get it. Well I went to see the nurse yday and it was snapped and she replaced it there and then..
I felt disgusted when she told me this. I knew id put on a bit but not that much.. I haddnt watched my weight as I was breastfeeding so didnt think I was putting on as much as I had.. I was just wondering if anyone knew whats the least amount of time before getting one out is.. I think I need a break from and hormonal contraception and let my body get back into the rhythm of how it was before had no periods no mood swings etc my arm feels battered today and just want it all to go away so I can start to loose some weight and get the old happy me back.
Image still hasn't come up hun. I had the implant in too and my body didn't agree with it either. Once your birth control implant is inserted, you should be able to feel it under your skin.
This is to ensure that your healthcare provider will be able to find it later when it needs to be removed. Deep insertion could also make for a more complicated removal process. Like its insertion, the birth control implant removal process is quick, with minimum pain or discomfort, and relatively straightforward. However, it will take a little bit more time to remove your implant than it did to have it inserted.
To remove it, your healthcare provider will numb your upper arm and make a small incision at the site of the implant. Then, using special tools, he or she will pull the small rod out of your arm and use steri-strips or sutures to close the incision site. At this point, you can have another implant put in immediately if you wish to continue using Nexplanon as your main method of birth control.
Once your contraceptive implant is out, you may experience soreness or bruising around the incision site. Make sure to follow the instructions that your healthcare provider gives you for washing and caring for the area to avoid infection or scarring. Although the implant is not as widely used as the pill, it is far more effective and just as safe. Once the implant is removed, you can get pregnant right away.
