Does Prolonged Usage Of Birth Control Implant In Arm Cause Infertility?
I have a brith control implant in my arm and it s been there for over the 3 year it supposed to be in there (money issues that why I haven t been to the doctor). I been getting my period for about two years now but, My question is with it being in my body so long will it affect me on having a baby in long run??
Hello and thank you for your question. The implant will not cause problems with your having a baby in the future. Once you pass the 3 year mark it will no longer protect you from pregnancy. It would be good to get it removed when you can, but it will not cause infertility Regards
