Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods include IUDs and implants. An IUD is a T-shaped device that’s placed in your uterus to prevent sperm from reaching an egg, while an implant is a tiny, flexible rod that’s placed in your upper arm, where it releases hormones that prevent ovulation. Access Health Center provides the following LARC device: Mirena hormone-releasing IUDs, which are over 99% effective for up to five years Nexplanon implants, which are 99% effective for up to three years, is available at our other locations. Patients can receive referrals if interested in this option.
