If you, like many mums to be, are wondering what type of birth control to use then you’ve probably heard about birth control implants. These rod shaped devices are implanted under the skin of the forearm and deliver low doses of progestin which is an effective contraceptive.
The best thing about birth control implants is that, once implanted, they will continue to deliver progestin for up to three years and they are 99 percent effective. They also have less of an impact on future fertility than some other methods and you will be fertile within a short time of having the implant removed.
You also don’t have to remember to take a pill or have an injection on time so it’s great for busy new mums.
