The contraceptive rod, or implant, is thought to be around 99% effective at protecting pregnancy, but offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections.The rod is placed under the skin in your upper arm and releases progesterone. Many women stop having periods with the implant inserted. It’s important to get your implant replaced on time, otherwise it may not be effective. Your doc will be able to tell you when it needs changing. Have a look at http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraceptive-implants-and-injections/Pages/Introduction.aspx for more info.
