After 5 years the doctor removes the capsules from your arm, and you then decide whether or not to have new ones put in or change to a different method. If you have any problems with the capsules or you plan to get pregnant in less than 5 years, you can have the capsules taken out. Just as with the Depo-Provera shots, you probably will have irregular periods. Because the capsules are thin and underneath the skin, they usually can't be seen. Condoms are sold in drug stores and are put on a man's penis before sex.
Condoms are the only good protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
Do not try to put a condom on a soft penis. After intercourse, hold onto the condom while the penis is being pulled out of the vagina. The jelly can kill sperm, but it doesn't work if used without a condom. Never use the same condom more than once. It is a good idea to have two condoms available in case one breaks.
