With the various forms of birth control available, Planned Parenthood has termed the implant as the “get-it-and-forget-it birth control”.
It is a small, thin rod which a trained medical practitioner inserts into your arm. Unlike pills and injections which you have to take every day or month depending on which one you opt for, the birth control implant is a one-time contraceptive. Once it is inserted into your arm you can forget about it until it expires. However, if you want to get pregnant, you can have it removed irrespective of the duration you have had it.
