Hormone implants are a long-term method of contraception, which can prevent you from becoming pregnant for three years.
The implant is a small tube about 4cm in length, inserted by a doctor or trained professional, under the skin of your arm. The implant slowly releases progestogen into the body, thereby stopping the release of eggs from the ovaries.
It also changes the uterine lining and cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to travel from the vagina, through the cervix, and into the uterus. With correct implantation, hormonal implants are more than 99% effective, with less than 1 in 1,000 becoming pregnant whilst using this method.
Benefits of using the implant over other methods of contraception include:

You may want to use a barrier method in addition to if you or your partner have multiple partners or a known infection.
