Birth Control Information

What is a Birth Control Implant?

A birth control implant is a small, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick, inserted under the skin of your upper arm. It releases a low dose of progestin to:

Prevent ovulation.
Thicken cervical mucus to block sperm.

It’s a hormonal, reversible contraception method that works for women of all ages, providing effective pregnancy prevention for up to 3 years.

Is the Birth Control Implant Right for You?

The implant may be an excellent choice if you:

Want a highly effective, long-term contraceptive option.
Prefer a method you don’t need to think about daily.
Are looking for a reversible birth control solution.
Experience side effects from estrogen-containing contraceptives (e.g., pills).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the implant last?

The implant provides up to 3 years of pregnancy protection but can be removed earlier if desired.

Do I need to get a birth control implant removed after 3 years?

Yes, a birth control implant, such as Nexplanon, needs to be removed after 3 years, as it is only approved to provide effective contraception for this duration. After 3 years, the implant’s hormone levels decline, making it less effective at preventing pregnancy.

When it’s time to have the implant removed, your healthcare provider can:

Replace it with a new implant: This ensures continuous protection against pregnancy.
Switch you to another method of birth control: Options include pills, IUDs, or other methods based on your preferences.
Remove it entirely without replacement: If you plan to conceive or no longer require contraception, fertility usually returns quickly after removal.

Removal is a simple, outpatient procedure done in a few minutes. If you’re unsure about when your implant was inserted or need to schedule a replacement or removal, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.

Is getting the implant painful?

The procedure is quick and virtually painless. A local anesthetic is used to numb the area before insertion.

Can the implant affect my periods?

Yes, the implant may cause lighter periods, irregular spotting or, in some cases, no periods at all. These changes are normal and not harmful.

What happens if I want to get pregnant?

The implant can be removed at any time, and fertility typically returns quickly.
