No, implants are not 100% effective.
Implants are a highly effective form of contraception, but like any method, they have a small chance of failure. The effectiveness of an implant depends on several factors, including:
-
Proper insertion and use: The implant needs to be inserted correctly and must remain in place for the duration of its effectiveness.
-
Individual factors: Body mass index (BMI), certain medications, and some medical conditions can affect the effectiveness of the implant.
-
Human error: There's a slight possibility of the implant being dislodged or malfunctioning.
The typical failure rate for implants is less than 1%. This means that out of 100 women using implants, less than one woman may become pregnant each year.
While implants are highly effective, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if they are the right contraceptive option for you and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.
