Implant

[ImAMummy2B]

Hiya,

I had my 6 week check up last week and the nurse spoke about contraception. We decided that the Implant was propbably my best option, and she said I had to have it fitted when I am on my period..... Is this right??

Looking on the net, it says I can have it fitted anytime during my cycle. If it is fitted during the first 5 days I am protected from pregnancy straight away etc.

So, I booked in with my surgery to have it done this coming Tuesday, but I don't think i'll still be on!! I thought my first one after having my daughter would last forever, but it doesn't seem to be!

It was such a pain booking this appointment as it requires a nurse and a doctor, and the op room!

So back to my question, will they still fit it if im no longer on a period?

Thanks!!

as long as you have used protection when/if having since the end of your period, they will still do it!

^^ WSS... I booked to have mine done after I had LO and hadn't come on when I made the appointment and they gave me it anyway because I didn't know when I was going to come on. I came one 3 days before I had it put in anyway so it was effective immediately but they will still do it if you're not on you just need to be careful

Hey, good luck with getting the implant. I was one of the unlucky few that had major problems with it. They usually like to make sure your not pregnant ie either wait for your period or do a pregnancy test, before putting it in.

I had mine done when I wasn't on my period ... but I was told to use contraception for 7 days after getting it put in.

I was still BF so hadn't had a period, but had to do a pregnancy test to be on the safe side. I guess they prefer you to do it while on a period so they can rule out pregnancy.
