THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

I don't tolerate estrogen, and I also don't want to take a pill every day.

Are you also worried about this like Enrica? The subdermal implant does not contain estrogen, but only the progestin etonogestrel. It has the same mechanism of action as the progestin-only pill, but has the advantage of providing long-term contraception for 3 years. Once implanted, there is no need to remember to take a pill every day. It is recommended in all situations where you are not able or willing to use estrogen.
