@babyusg: How contraceptive implants works? A contraceptive implant (like Nexplanon) is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of the upper arm. It works by slowly releasing a hormone called etonogestrel into the bloodstream. How it prevents pregnancy: 1️⃣ Stops ovulation – The hormone prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg. 2️⃣ Thickens cervical mucus – Makes it harder for sperm to reach an egg. 3️⃣ Thins the uterine lining – Makes implantation less likely. It works for up to 3 years and is over 99% effective. #ContraceptiveImplant #BirthControl #Nexplanon #ReproductiveHealth #womenshealth
