Hi everyone

This really isn't a conception query, but more a contraception one. I hope posting it here is ok.

I have a fifteen year old daughter and sadly (for me ) we are at the stage of looking at contraception for her.

I don't think the contraception pill is an option because I don't think she is responsible enough to take them.

I wondered if anyone here can tell me about implanon.... For example:

I have heard it needs to be inserted by a doctor with the appropriate license?
How much does it cost for the 'tube'? I understand it's quite expensive.
Does anyone know if the cost is covered by some private health insurances?
Does it hurt to have it inserted, and are there any side effects?
Is there any reason why this would not be recommended for a 15 year old?

Any advice would be appreciated

Best wishes, Sandy
