Can you implant and remove birth control in different places?
Yes, you can remove the implant at one medical facility and then get a new one at another place. However, you should inform the doctor where it was removed from and provide information about your previous implant history.
Things to know before changing the implant location
- Some places may not accept removal if they were not the original implant provider → It is advisable to inquire in advance.
- If you choose to get a new implant immediately after removal, it should be done on the same day, or use other protection methods while waiting.
- All Thai women with healthcare rights (Gold Card/Social Security/Government Officials) → Can use the right to free birth control implant.
Plan continuously to avoid mistakes
The gap between removal and new implantation may increase the risk of pregnancy. If not ready for pregnancy, additional protection methods should be used, such as condoms or emergency contraception during the transition period.
