Nexplanon is a 4 cm flexible plastic rod that is inserted under the skin of your upper arm, after the skin is numbed. It releases progestin, which is similar to the natural progesterone your body makes.
It works for three years, is completely reversible, and is 99.9% effective at preventing pregnancy. It works by two methods: stopping ovulation, and thickening the natural cervical mucus so sperm cannot pass through. In many cases, it also improves pelvic cramping.
At Synergy Women’s Wellness Centre, we offer IUD insertions as a highly effective form of contraception in a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment. If you meet all eligibility criteria, we can provide an insertion within 7 days, ensuring timely access to your chosen birth control method. Our experienced team is here to answer your questions, guide you through the process, and help you feel comfortable every step of the way. Whether you’re considering an IUD for the first time or replacing an existing one, we are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
You are within 7 days of the start of your normal menstrual period OR have not had sex since the start of your normal period OR you have had unprotected sex for 12 days prior to your appointment (100% use of condoms or non-hormonal/reliable birth control) and have a negative blood pregnancy test 24-48 hours before your blood test. This will be arranged when you call for an appointment.
***Discontinue Biotin 48 hours before your blood test. Biotin can be found in many supplements and natural food products.
