Has anyone tried the birth control implants that get put under the skin in your arm? I'm thinking about trying that (currently on pills) and am curious about side effects-I know Norplant was taken off the market in the US, but Implanon was recently approved. It sounds like it could be less painful to insert than an IUD, but Norplant apparently had some really bad side effects; I'm wondering if this new implant is any better.
