Implanon

Coming for an Implanon:

  • Make a 30 minute appointment between Day 1 and Day 5 of your menstrual cycle.
  • If unable to make your appointment it is essential to cancel to avoid a charge.
  • Please read consent form prior to visit (Link to Consent Form)
  • Implanon is an excellent contraceptive with < 10% failure rate.

What to expect:

  • A small amount of local anaesthetic is gently injected into the inner side of the upper arm above the elbow to numb the area.
  • The implanon is easily inserted just under the skin – local short term bruising is common after insertion.
  • An irregular bleeding pattern most often light is common in 40% of patients which may settle up to 8 months post insertion.
  • 20% will potentially have no period.
  • The remaining 40% will have a regular cycle.
  • For potential risks and side effects please read the consent form.
