Are you looking for long‑term, low‑maintenance contraception?
The contraceptive implant is a small rod placed under the skin that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years without daily action.
Do you want highly effective birth control without daily pills?
With over 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, the implant is ideal if remembering daily contraception isn’t convenient for you.
Have you had side effects or difficulties with other contraceptives?
If pills, patches or rings caused unwanted symptoms, a hormone‑releasing implant may offer a suitable alternative.
Would you like contraception that doesn’t interrupt sex?
Because the implant works continuously in the background, there’s no need to pause for sexual activity.
Are you seeking reversible contraception with quick fertility return?
Fertility typically returns rapidly once the implant is removed, making it good for longer‑term planning now with future flexibility.
Are heavy or irregular periods a concern for you?
The implant often changes patterns of bleeding — lighter, irregular or sometimes no periods — which may be beneficial or need discussion.
