Mga sis! Pagusapan nating ang paggamit ng implant ngayong FP Friday.

Sa paggamit ng Implant, may isang plastic na kasing liit ng palito ng posporo na ipapasok sa ilalim ng balat ng braso mo. Pinipigilan ng implant ang pagbubuntis at ito’y mabisa mula 3 hanggang 5 taon, depende sa brand. Ligtas ito para sa nagpapasusong ina. Pwede mo itong ipatanggal kung gusto mo nang mabuntis. Tanungin lang ang doktor, nars o midwife.

Gusto mo bang gumamit ng Implants o ibang FP method? Mag-message na sa Facebook Messenger: FP Cavite Konek
