NEXPLANON - BIRTH CONTROL IMPLANT
Nexplanon is a birth control implant that goes under the skin of the inner non-dominant arm. It is just as effective as the pill, but without the daily hassle. This small thin and flexible arm implant is inserted within only a few minutes by the doctor. The area is numbed and an applicator guides the Nexplanon into place.
We accept referrals from doctor's offices and provide a consultation appointment, insertion appointment and a follow-up appointment.
"I got the birth control implant, Nexoplanon, December 1, 2020 and have been loving it! My periods aren't regular by any means, but I no longer have crippling cramps and I bleed a lot less! I had the IUD Mirena, I believe, for 2-3 years and it actually caused my periods to hurt more. I was told it was supposed to get rid of periods so I should just hang on and the pain should stop, but after years of things not getting better I switched! I am so happy I did and will continue to get Nexoplanon for as long as I need birth control. I will say, if you slide your arm along anything, it can catch a little and pinch, but other than that I haven't had any issues whatsoever! I love it and would definitely recommend it to friends and family"
"I was having pelvic pain issues with the IUD and talked to my doctor about other birth control options. I would get auras with migraines so I was fairly limited on my choices. She suggested the Nexplanon. I have had it inserted for a month now and it was completely painless. My pelvic pain has gone away and I am not having any crazy side effects. I am so far very happy with this choice!"
