Question
Hi,
I got an implanon put in about six months ago and have been trying to get it removed because I have heard it causes infertility. Do you know how true this is?
Ruth,
According to studies, yes that is true. And there are other side effects and risks as well. I have heard women tell me that the doctor wouldn't take it out. It's your body and if you want it out, keep looking till you find a doctor who WILL take it out. I applaud your decision. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. If you want to talk about different kinds of birth control methods, just email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
