A simple pathway for choosing the right contraception
Long acting reversible contraception can be highly convenient, but the right choice depends on your health history, bleeding pattern, medication use, future pregnancy plans and personal preference.
IUCD insertion and contraceptive planning
An IUCD is a small device placed inside the uterus to provide long acting contraception. Depending on the type, it may work through hormonal or non hormonal mechanisms.
Your GP will discuss whether an IUCD is suitable, what to expect during insertion, possible side effects, expected bleeding changes and when follow up may be needed.
IUCD may suit patients who want
- A low maintenance contraceptive option
- Long acting pregnancy prevention
- A reversible method
- Non daily contraception
- Individualised bleeding management discussion
- Pregnancy spacing support
Implanon in brief
- Small contraceptive rod placed under the skin of the upper arm
- Long acting and reversible
- Does not require daily tablets
- Can be removed if unsuitable or no longer needed
- Bleeding pattern changes can occur
- Suitability should be discussed with your doctor
Implanon insertion, removal and replacement
Implanon is a long acting contraceptive implant inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It may suit patients who want reliable contraception without needing to remember a daily pill.
At Kensington Park Medical, we can discuss insertion, removal or replacement, including benefits, possible side effects, bleeding changes and what to do if you have concerns after the procedure.
Before insertion
Your doctor may discuss timing, pregnancy exclusion, STI screening where relevant, pain relief options and whether the chosen method suits your health history.
During the procedure
Your clinician explains each step before proceeding. Implanon is inserted into the upper arm. IUCD insertion involves placement through the cervix into the uterus.
After insertion
You receive aftercare advice, what symptoms to watch for, when contraception becomes effective and when to book a review if you have pain, bleeding or concerns.
IUCD or Implanon. Which is better for me?
There is no single best option for everyone. The right contraceptive choice depends on your priorities, period pattern, side effect tolerance, medical conditions, medication interactions and future pregnancy plans.
Discuss goals
We clarify what matters most to you, including convenience, bleeding control, hormone preference and reversibility.
Compare risks
Your GP explains common side effects, less common risks and when a method may not be suitable.
Plan safely
If suitable, we arrange the procedure timing, preparation, insertion and follow up care.
