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.
Just read the package leaflet… this helps
If you now take a combination pill, you will find in the use information:
If you have changed to an estrogen-free pill, then there is:
So or so you’re already (long) protected.
Happy for you!
