You know the one, with all of the stylishly dressed young women killing it in the workplace, telling you that they’ve “armored up” against an unplanned pregnancy? It’s clever enough, as the Nexplanon implant goes into one’s arm. Unfortunately, Merck (the makers of Nexplanon) may have to come up with another clever slogan for their device, as reports have surfaced that the matchstick-sized implant has a nasty habit of migrating elsewhere in a woman’s body, instead of staying put in her arm.
Like other methods of long-acting reversible contraception (or, “LARCs”), the Nexplanon implant is increasingly favored by patients and healthcare providers for its ease of use and compliance. Like the IUD, the idea behind Nexplanon is to function as a “set and forget” method of birth control, promising women up to three years of protection against unplanned pregnancy without having to worry about taking a daily pill.
Like the hormonal IUD, Nexplanon will continually “pump out” a steady, low dose of hormones into a woman’s body, in order to stave off pregnancy through various different functions. And while Nexplanon must be removed after three years, if it is lost and/or cannot be retrieved, it may still continue having an effect on the body even after the three-year mark.
As it turns out, Nexplanon—and its issues with migrating—are nothing new. Nexplanon is actually an updated version of a device called Implanon (which gained FDA approval in 2006), which was also a matchstick-sized hormonal LARC placed in the arm to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years. With FDA approval of Nexplanon in 2011, Implanon has gradually been phased out, but it is still the subject of an ongoing lawsuit from women “who allege they were not properly warned about the risks associated with using Implanon.”

Meddling with the endocrine system is a parlous thing.
“When Your Birth Control Implant Doesn’t Stay In Your Arm: The Truth about Nexplanon”
Keep the birth control “implant” behind a zipper.
“You know the one, with all of the stylishly dressed young women killing it in the workplace, telling you that they’ve “armored up” against an unplanned pregnancy? “
In whose damp dream is this?
Not to mention a perilous thing.
Three years worth of hormones? You suppose that's why today's young women are batshit crazy and and willing to play 'hook-up'?
“...promising women up to three years of protection against unplanned pregnancy without having to worry about taking a daily pill...”
Why bother when they aren’t having sex?
This implantable birth-control device will often get lost in a woman’s body, so now they had to make it radioactive so it can be found - just in case.
Ladies, do you ever get the impression that you are being used and manipulated?
They had those back in the 90’s. I think back then it was called Norplant. It was a booger finding a doctor eho was qualified to remove them.
Things like that can have really bad side effects in some people, like asthma and joints coming apart, bladders falling sown and heavy scar tissue at the implant site.
And some of those IUD’s with the hormones imbedded...they dont always work well either. Tubal pregnancies can happen with those, among other things like piercing one’s uterus and traveling.
I saw an article where they found a birth controll remedy for men...and women complained!!
The article says the device is made radio opaque. That is not the same as radioactive. Radio opaque means x-rays can't easily penetrate it. It would show up as a white spot on the x-ray.
The simple fact is that the hormones in most any birth control “medicine” can cause breast cancer in women after years of use. It’s been directly linked to it, although I’m sure there are those trying to scrub away those studies this very minute.
i would LOVE to see how they explain it migrating INTO an artery, let alone without the girl knowing
The ladies have to step up their game,the next generation of sexbots are coming soon.
“Honey? What’s that in the middle of your forehead?”
Retroactive ‘birth control’ aka abortions sure does. IIRC the cancer rates from the proactive drugs are less.
As a woman I have to just say what the hell is wrong with the women who sign up for this garbage?? Do you seriously think manipulating your endocrine system is something which won’t have serious, long term and short term adverse effects? All so a man can use you as a point of masturbatory friction?? You think THIS empowers you?? Yuck.
Not to worry, Cuomo wants to allow abortion up to birth. What a shame his mother didn’t have that option.
If you cannot remember, or are too lazy, to take a birth control pill...you should NOT be having sex...
Legs closed works too.
They are testing it, its a topical gel.
And yes the women were screaming about it.
They conveniently forgot they were prior complaining that men had no birth control they could take to prevent pregnancy. Of course now that a viable one could come out for guys, they complain about it.
You know the entire world is totally out to make it awful for women. At least thats how they tell it.
‘Messing with your hormone system Is a perilous thing’
This is the scandal of most of modern birth control methods - exceptions are the natural birth control methods.
Women’s bodies have natural fluctuating ebbs and flows of hormones relating to ovulation and pregnancy. When artificial BC methods are used, the natural hormone levels are abruptly changed resulting to an ‘insult’ to the body’s natural hormonal functions.
Deliberate termination of pregnancy also abruptly changes the ebb and flow of hormones in a woman’s body. It is the cause of increased breast cancer women.
In the end, ‘it’s not good to fool mother nature.’
