If you are a busy person who doesn’t want to worry everyday about preventing pregnancy or child spacing, then Implanon or Jadelle are the methods for you. Implanon and Jadelle are two kinds of contraceptive Implant that can help women reliably prevent pregnancy for 3-5years. The Implant is a tiny rod which looks just like a match stick. It is popularly called “ISHANA” in Yoruba ……It works by delaying or preventing the ovulation (the release of a woman’s egg) therefore preventing fertilization and pregnancy. The Implant is placed just below the skin of the upper arm, by a trained health care professional who could be a doctor or a nurse. After you get your Implant placed, no one will notice that you have it on and you can freely carry it around with confidence.
There have been some wrong speculations about the Implant so the below facts should clear the air on the myths and misconceptions you may have heard about. Below are 5 facts you should know.
Fact 1: The Contraceptive Implant (Jadelle or Implanon) does not move around the body
No it does not, not at all! The implant is placed just below the skin in the upper arm and it cannot move around the body. You can always check for the implant by feeling for it underneath your skin with your fingers.
Fact 2: These Contraceptive Implants will not make you fat
Weight changes associated with implant is quite insignificant. A study shows that people on contraceptive implant gained or lost only 3kg in 3 years. This shows that the ability to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle are major determinants of weight gain or loss. Thus, if all these are properly checked, people using the
implant usually do not gain or lose more weight than those who aren’t using the implant.
Fact 3 : Your Contraceptive Implant can be removed at anytime

Fact 4: It will not make you bleed to death

implant . Apart from heavy menses, some women may experience no menses at all (amenorrhea) while some others experience lighter menses. You can always visit your doctor for advice if you still feel your menses is too heavy.
Fact 5: Getting an implant will not hurt
