The implant is then inserted under your skin — it only takes a few minutes to put in and feels like having an injection. Nexplanon works for 3 years before it needs to be replaced. You can use this method until you reach the menopause, when a woman's monthly periods stop naturally. The implant can be removed at any time by a specially trained doctor or nurse. It only takes a few minutes to remove, and a local anaesthetic will be used. The doctor or nurse will make a tiny cut in your skin to gently pull the implant out.
If you're taking any of these medicines, you'll need additional contraception such as condoms , or you may wish to use a different method of contraception that isn't affected by your medicine. Always tell your doctor that you're using an implant if you're prescribed any medicine. You can also ask them whether the medicine you're taking will affect the implant.
In rare cases, the area of skin where the implant has been fitted can become infected. If this happens, you may need antibiotics. Some but not all GPs or practice nurses are able to fit and remove implants, so you'll need to check at your GP surgery. Find a sexual health clinic. If you need contraception, call your GP surgery or a sexual health clinic as soon as possible.
Only go in person if asked to. You normally have a contraceptive implant for 3 years, but it can be left in and will continue to work for up to 4 years. All rights reserved.

A specially trained doctor or nurse will insert it under the skin of your upper arm. A cold numbing spray or an injection of local anaesthetic into the skin to numb the area will be used to so that inserting the Nexplanon will not hurt.
You will not have any stitches and it will only take a few minutes. The area may be a bit sore and bruised but it will have a dressing on it to help keep it clean and dry. Try not to knock it. After a few days you can remove the dressing and once healed you really should not be aware that it is there.

Start tracking today. Hormonal birth control HBC usually works when used correctly and consistently.
Unintended pregnancies are declining because of increasing access to effective contraception. Human behavior can play a part in HBC being less effective.
The effectiveness of any method depends on typical vs. Tracking your HBC in Clue can help you prevent failure. When people use hormonal birth control consistently and correctly, pregnancy occurs in only 0. Compare that to the eighty-five percent of people who become pregnant within a year, when not using birth control. Almost half of pregnancies are unintended, but this number is declining, likely because of the increasing availability of highly effective methods of birth control 2.
If birth control is so effective, why do we hear so many stories about people becoming pregnant while using it? Typical use reflects how people actually use a type of birth control, even if they use it inconsistently or incorrectly. Perfect use reflects how effective the form of birth control is if used exactly as prescribed 3. While certain behaviors can put a person at risk for birth control failure, there are times when birth control fails without a real reason and without anyone to blame.
Contraception is a modern technology, and no technology is perfect 1. Human behavior is commonly a factor in why these methods fail.
