Switching from Implanon to the pill?

Hello, I had my Implanon removed two weeks ago, as I'd had it in for three years. I started taking the pill the same day. My gynecologist told me I should wait two weeks for the pill to take effect. It's been two weeks now, and three days. Do we still need to use contraception, or not?

No, you don’t have to. As a rule, protection is given after at least 7-9 days, not only after 14 days. In the package leaflet there should also be something to change and from when the protection is given.

If you now take a combination pill, you will find in the use information:

Change from a pure gestagen preparation (stagene monoopille, injection, implant or from a gestagen-releasing IUS):

The conversion of a gestagen monopille can take place on any day (the conversion from an implant or IUS on the day of removal of the implant and from an injection preparation at the time the next injection would be due). In all these cases, on the first 7 days of film tablet intake, you must additionally apply contraceptive means (e.g. a condom).

If you have changed to an estrogen-free pill, then there is:

Changing of an injection, an implant or a gestagen-releasing intrauterine system (IUS)

Start taking Desogestrel Aristo® on the day the next injection would be due, or on the day of removal of the implant or IUS. You do not need to apply an additional method of contraception.

So or so you’re already (long) protected.

Happy for you!
