Abstract:

Contraceptive implants are five subdermal implants, rods the size of pencil lead, placed under the skin at the inner part of the upper arm. Implants can be used during breastfeeding without problems with milk production. The mothers' age does not affect the use of birth control implants; there is a link between the age at first birth and the use of birth control implants; the number of live-born children has a significant impact or influence on the use of implants.
