Our state of the art gynecology NYC facility equipped with the latest obgyn equipment Contactive implants are generally one hormone called progesterone or from the progestin class of hormones. They prevent pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus, thus prohibiting sperm from entering the uterus, decrease motility of eggs leaving the ovaries and making their way into the uterus, and also potentially stop ovulation from happening at all, that is, the ovaries releasing eggs. The benefits of this medication include generally bleeding less while you’re on your period, with many women no longer having any bleeding while on their periods while they have the implant in place. The main side effects can include bleeding or spotting while not on your period, breast tenderness, and potential mood changes. These are usually mild, if any. Luckily, if you do experience any of these and they don’t go away, you can have the implant removed at any time. The key reasons not to get an implant include being pregnant, liver problems or tumors, breast cancer, or history of blood clots in your lungs or legs.
