If you have been going back and forth between an IUD and an implant, you are not alone.
Both are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, but they work differently and the right one depends on your body, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you.
IUDs are placed in the uterus and come in both hormonal and copper versions lasting 3 to 10 years, while the implant is a matchstick-sized device inserted in the upper arm that releases hormones for up to three years.
Both have pregnancy rates lower than one percent, making them among the most reliable options available. We can help you figure out which one fits your life best.
