Contraceptive implant (Implanon)
Are you looking for a reliable form of contraception that you don’t have to think about for up to 3 years? At Het Geboorte-atelier, you can come for the insertion and removal of the contraceptive implant (Implanon).
As midwives, we know you and your body. We take plenty of time for you, offer a familiar environment, and make sure the placement is as comfortable as possible.
Implanon is a flexible rod the size of a matchstick (4 cm long and 2 mm wide). It is placed just under the skin of your upper arm. The rod gradually releases a small amount of progestogen. This prevents ovulation and makes the cervix less accessible to sperm.
You no longer have to think about taking the pill every day. It is one of the most reliable forms of contraception. It is also suitable if you are breastfeeding or if you cannot or do not want to use estrogen.
Removal
Once the rod is removed, the hormones completely leave the body within a few days. In principle, you can get pregnant again from the day the rod is taken out. Usually, the first ovulation occurs about 3 weeks after removal.
Long-lasting protection with an IUD
An intrauterine device (IUD) offers years of reliable protection against pregnancy, allowing you to enjoy life with peace of mind. We understand that contraception is a personal choice, which is why we offer both copper and hormonal IUDs, tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
Copper IUD – Up to 10 Years of Protection
The copper IUD is an excellent choice if you’re looking for long-term, hormone-free protection. It can remain effective for 5 to 10 years, depending on the type and your personal situation. The device releases copper ions, which make the uterus inhospitable to sperm and prevent pregnancy.
Hormonal IUD – Up to 8 Years of Worry-Free Contraception
The hormonal IUD provides another form of long-lasting protection. It releases a steady, low dose of hormones over 5 to 8 years, which suppresses ovulation and thins the uterine lining, thereby preventing pregnancy. This type of IUD can also help reduce menstrual pain and bleeding.
Choose the Contraception That Fits You
At Het Geboorte-atelier, we offer a variety of IUDs to meet your contraceptive needs.
The Mirena and Kyleena hormonal IUDs provide up to 5 years of reliable protection with a low hormone release. For those who prefer a hormone-free option, the T-Safe copper IUD offers protection for up to 10 years. Our experienced professionals are here to help you select the contraceptive method that best suits your lifestyle.
Comfortable Placement with Carevix
Many women feel anxious about IUD placement. We offer an alternative, gentler method using the Carevix — an innovative, soft medical device designed to make insertion more comfortable and less painful. The Carevix reduces pressure on the cervix, making the procedure easier, especially for women receiving their first IUD or those who’ve had an unpleasant experience in the past.
With Carevix, we provide a safe, reliable, and more comfortable IUD placement experience — helping you feel at ease throughout the process. Please note: this device is not covered by health insurance.
