I just got the implanon about 2 months ago. Maybe 3? Anyway I want to make sure that I am keeping it as effective as possible. What ways are there to make it LESS effective?

There is nothing you can do, to make it more or less effective. It has about a 1/2 or one percent failure rate, so of course pregnancy is possible, but very rare when using it.

It is considered the most effective reversible birth control available by many.

There are side effects and if you note pain, headaches and weight gain, you need to contract your doctor.

It should only be inserted by trained medical staff or nerve damage may result
