That is not entirely true about it can't make you infertile. This is copied and pasted from the Implanon's website: "Failure to remove IMPLANON????????? may result in infertility, pregnancy outside of the womb (ectopic pregnancy), or inability to stop a drug-related adverse event." http://www.implanon-usa.com/hcp/patientsupport/faq s/index.asp?C=49786402857112268519&svarqvp2=0&comp onentid=186835&sourcepageid=126638#186820

  • Hi,

    Don't worry! I think you have interpreted the info incorrectly. I also had implanon until Feb and read the same thing online myself. I had to double check it as I had the same panic myself when I skim-read it!

    What it refers to 'failure to remove implanon', NOT effects after the implanon is removed.

    So the effects described above are *only* referring to a situation where the implanon stays in your body (e.g. if the nurse has trouble removing it / you just don't get it taken out!)

    Hope that puts your mind at rest! xxx
  • thank you hunni.xx
  • No probs - I had the same worry myself when I first saw it!

    Lots of babydust to you. xxx
