How effective is the contraceptive implant?
The contraceptive is considered highly effective, less than 1 out of 100 women a year will become pregnant using Implanon. Should you discover that you're pregnant and you have the implant in, you need to have it removed.99.9% effective
What do they do at the appointment before you have the contraceptive implant taken out?
I have no idea. There's no medical need for a "pre-removal" appointment to take out the contraceptive implant.
When can you go running after getting the contraceptive implant?
There is no need to delay; you can return to any activities the day of insertion.
I have a absence be-hide my implant?
That is a sign of an infection under the implant. You need to see your dentist immediately to get antibotics and have that implant removed.
Can the cochlear implant be removed?
The external part of a cochlear implant (called a processor) can be removed easily (it has a magnet that adheres to the outer skin and what looks like a hearing aid that sits on the ear). The internal part of a cochlear implant can also be removed -- but would need to be done so surgically.
Do you need a bone scan after having a contraceptive implant for 3 years?
Bone scans are not recommended as follow up to any birth control method.
Do you have to pay for the contraceptive implant?
The contraceptive implant is typically covered by insurance. In addition, your local family planning office offers it on a sliding scale basis. There may be additional state programs to cover the cost.
Is it normal for a contraceptive implant to move?
No see your doctor right away if the implant has moved, even a little.
Do you need to take alternative contraception measures when taking norethisterone even though you are already using implanon?
Norethisterone will not affect how well the contraceptive implant works.
What happens if your implant breaks in your arm?
as far as i am aware, nothing will happen....you will just need to book an appointment with your local doctor and get it removed.
What birth control is just as effective as the Depo-Provera shot but doesnt involve a needle?
The IUD and the contraceptive implant are both more effective than Depo Provera. The contraceptive implant still involves a needle, but you only get that needle once every three years. There is no needle involved in insertion of the IUD in the majority of cases, and if you felt strongly about no needles, you'd just need to let your health care provider know, and none would be required for the IUD.
I just got my implanon taken out how long is it still effective?
You need to ask the doctor/nurse who took it out about this.
