A member asked:

Can you tell me about switching from the pill to the implant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good idea: The implant is much more effective than the pill. Your provider can insert the implant. You should continue your pill for one week after you get the implant (or use another form of protection) to prevent pregnancy.

Dr Trivedi and another doctor agreed
