Yes, you can get the contraceptive implant removed at any time.
The contraceptive implant is of no use if you are pregnant. It is normally removed. It does not harm or end a pregnancy.
To make the contraceptive implant stop working, have it removed. You will have immediate return to fertility.
If you have the contraceptive implant and would like to get pregnant, have it removed. There is no other sensible, effective way to make it "less effective."
You can have the contraceptive implant removed by any trained health care provider. Your local family planning center has expertise in this area.
See your OBGYN or local family planning center if you would like the contraceptive implant removed.
Your local family planning office can tell you if you can have the contraceptive implant removed there or another nearby office at no charge.
It is possible to become pregnant immediately after removal of an IUD. Even with mirena coils which contain small amounts of progesterone, the contraceptive won't work as soon as the IUD is removed. Once your IUD is removed you can become pregnant immediately, it has no residual contraceptive effect. 85% of couples will get pregnant within the year, just as the rate if no IUD had been used.
Local anesthesia is used for removal of the contraceptive implant, just as it was with the insertion. Patients may have some soreness, but it is usually short-lived.
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
If you leave the contraceptive implant in longer than prescribed, you will not have pregnant protection after its life is over. It does not present any dangers.
There is no medical danger from leaving it in indefinitely, except that it no longer provides pregnancy prevention after three years.
