Removing contraception
-
Intra uterine devices (IUDs) and implants are long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs). You can decide to have them removed at any time.
A trained medical professional can remove your implant or your IUD. It’s a really bad idea to try to remove them yourself.

If you are eligible for subsidised health care, your appointment will be free. If you have a Community Services Card, your appointment will cost $5.
If you’re not a New Zealand resident, you’ll need to pay non-resident fees.
