Birth Control Implant

If you see a doctor for any reason, tell the doctor that you are using birth control. Some medicines may keep your birth control from working as well. If you need to take one of these medicines, you may need to use a back up method of pregnancy prevention, like condoms, until you finish the medication. Your doctor will tell you if this is necessary.

Long term methods include three types of pregnancy prevention methods that work for several years. One type of long term method is known as sterilization. It is considered a permanent method because the chances of reversing it so that someone can get pregnant is very small. Sterilization methods are used by people who do not want any children, or who have had all the children they want and do not want any more.
