Contraceptive Implant in Leicester

The contraceptive implant, often known by its brand name Nexplanon, is a small, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick. This rod is gently inserted under the skin of your upper arm by a healthcare professional. The procedure is quick, usually painless, and can be done in our clinic during a standard appointment.

Our women’s health practitioners can go through the options and help you decide if the implant is the best choice for you, discuss the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have. They will also be able to fit it for you in a comfortable and luxurious environment, where you won’t be rushed.

How does the contraceptive implant work?

The implant works by slowly releasing a hormone called progestin into your bloodstream. Progestin is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, which naturally occurs in your body. The hormone prevents ovulation, meaning your ovaries don’t release eggs. It also thickens the mucus in your cervix, making it more difficult for sperm to move and reach an egg.

Benefits of the contraceptive implant

One of the greatest advantages of the contraceptive implant is its effectiveness. It’s over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, which means less than 1 in 100 women who use the implant will get pregnant each year. It’s also long-lasting; once inserted, the implant can prevent pregnancy for up to three years, and you don’t have to remember to take it daily like the pill. If you decide you want to try for a pregnancy or switch methods, it’s simple to have the implant removed, and fertility typically returns quickly.

Potential Side effects of contraceptive implant

Side effects can include irregular periods, spotting between periods, or no periods at all after the first year. Some women may experience minor side effects such as mood swings, weight gain, or acne, although these usually subside within a few months. It’s also worth mentioning that the contraceptive implant does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
