ImplanonImplanon NXT is a long-acting hormonal contraceptive. A single implant is inserted subdermally and can be left in place for three years. Removal of the implant has to be done no later than three years after the date of insertion. The user can request the removal of the implant at any time. After the removal of the implant, immediate insertion of another implant will result in continued contraceptive protection. If the woman does not wish to continue using Implanon, but wants to continue preventing pregnancy, another contraceptive method will be recommended.

Intra-Uterine Systems (IUS) - Mirena, Kyleena, Jaydess coilsAn IUS is a small, T-shaped plastic device that's put into your womb (uterus). It releases a hormone called progestogen to stop you getting pregnant and lasts for 3 to 5 years. The IUS can be fitted at any time during your monthly menstrual cycle, as long as you're not pregnant. It can be used by women who can't use combined contraception (such as the combined pill) – for example, those who have migraines.

Intra-Uterine Contraceptive Devices (non-hormonal long-acting reversible contraceptives) - copper coil (IUD)An IUD is a small, T-shaped plastic and copper device that's put into your womb (uterus). It releases copper to stop you getting pregnant and protects against pregnancy for between 5 and 10 years. It can be put in at any time during your menstrual cycle, as long as you're not pregnant. If you're 40 or over when you have an IUD fitted, it can be left in until you reach the menopause or you no longer need contraception.

Ring pessary insertionA vaginal pessary is a soft, removable device that goes in your vagina. It supports areas that are affected by pelvic organ prolapse (POP). This happens when the bladder, rectum, or uterus drops or bulges down toward the vagina. A pessary can also help if you have stress incontinence, which causes you to leak urine when you cough, strain, or exercise. Women who have incontinence during pregnancy might find a pessary helpful, too.

Diaphragm/Cap fittingA contraceptive diaphragm or cap is a circular dome made of thin, soft silicone that's inserted into the vagina before sex. It covers the cervix so sperm can't get into the womb (uterus) to fertilise an egg. The diaphragm or cap needs to be left in place for at least 6 hours after sex.
