Q: Has Any One Used Implanon?

asked by: PixieKat on December 21st, 2007

I have been looking at diffrent forms of birthcontrol, im on the mini pill now, but lately ive been forgeting to take it so i want to switch to one that you dont have to worry about so much.
Ive decided i would like to get on either Implanon, or an IUD.

Has anyone ever taken Implanon? I was woundering how much it cost, and you have done with it. Aslo do you know if it will break easily? Im worried it might break if someone grabs my arm to hard or something.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I thought about the ring, but from everyone ive talked to it falls out during sex, that would get annoying.

my mom was on the shot, and she went really suicidal, so im afraid to get on that one.
im thinking i might just stick to the pill, the patch my mom would deffntly notice, and the iud and implant just are scary lol

What are you on? if your on anything.

Btw thanks for helping!

the ring is a pretty good option. if it falls out all yahave to do is wash it off and put it back in Smile
