Hi dr where can i put pregnancy prevention implant?

Your doctor: It is not a do it yourself item. Your doctor will place the implant, usually in the upper arm. Visit this site for information: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/contraceptive-implant/ Wish you good health!

Specializes in Psychiatry

Implants: Agree with Dr. Singh. You should not be inserting your own birth control implant. Your physician will place a tiny rod under your skin on your upper arm.
