HI, just read an article on yahoo about a european implant bc that was approved in the US.. any idea when it will be available. I really wanted Norplant but it was discontinued so i am very interested in this bc. it is called Implanton.

i just noticed the "approvable" part... i guess it isn't approved yet, but i want it. i hate taking pills. i keep dropping them down the sink or forget and take them like an hour late and constantly have my period. i will never try depo, i cant handle needles or 3 months of side effects
