584 pregnancies out of over 1 million implants doesn't sound very news worthy to me? Gotta love the media! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

My friend got the implanon and had to get it removed because it caused her to go blind, and not be able to move her face (kind of like a stroke) and have all these other issues. She was having daily lumbar punctures to reduce her cerebrospinal fluid pressure, and they thought about putting a shunt into her brain to drain the excess fluid  but things settled a little bit. She now just has weekly lumbar punctures.  She still has no peripheral vision but her eyesight has improved a lot.
Just be wary of getting something synthetic implanted into your arm! ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Apparently it's a very rare side effect, but still! It's been a really tough year for her. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |
