Points
  • The implant is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
  • Some Nexplanon users complain of spotting, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding between periods, during the first few months of use, but Minkin said that's the method's only drawback.
  • After continued use, some users stop getting their periods altogether.
  • And if you prefer not to have a device inserted up your vagina into your cervix, the arm implant could be a good alternative.
  • Vaginal ring Though not as long-lasting as the above options, the vaginal ring could be a welcome option for birth control users who prefer to take things into their own hands, according to Minkin.
