Thread: Arm Implant Birth Control?!?!

I have been on the pill for about 7 years and am seriously considering an IUD or something along the lines of that. I have not had any children, nor do I plan to, so something near to permanent is good.

I have been told that the Norplant is no longer allowed in the US. However, my friend mentioned her sister getting a copper implant in her arm that lasts 5 years. However, I can't find anything about this online in research. I only know of IUDs being the only implant birth control on the market today...

Anyone heard of a new arm implant birth control???

Implanon is the new birth control that goes into your arm.
