Talk:Etonogestrel birth control implant

message: Let's all work on reaching a consensus for a new infobox to be placed on each individual birth control method's article.  I've created one to start with on the Wikipedia Proposed Infoboxes page, so go check it out and get involved in the process. MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib) 12:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

ALL artificial hormones are associated with increased cancer risk.
The Norplant device, subject of much litigation and now banned in the US, is alarmingly similar to Implanon in that it 1) uses artificial hormones 2) can become embedded in the arm of the wearer, covered with scar tissue.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cindery (talk • contribs)  21:59, 25 July 2006  (UTC)

thread_title: NPOV

message: I altered the bit about endometrium lining thining because it was phrased (possibly intentionally) in such a way as to sound that this was not a factor in Implanon's prevention of successful implantation.  Implanon's own website stipulates that it is: http://www.implanon-usa.com/authfiles/images/543_174732.pdf  I also included that mucus buildups can reduce the likelihood of implantation after fertilization, and that some people consider these to mechanisms to be abortive.

message: Can anyone explain/add why it is implanted in the upper arm? Young friend has an implant, but she doesn't know why it had to be there, rather than any other site - e.g calf, forearm. Convenience? Or minimal risk of injury to area? Bluedawe 21:29, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Upper Arm? 

message: Listing "eradication of libido" as a side effect seems to give undue emphasis to a less common side effect of this method of birth control. Loss of libido is listed already under other possible effects. Eradication seems to be to be a biased and emotionally charged word choice. In addition the citation listed is a web posting based on personal experience asking whether or not loss of libido is a side effect of Implanon. It is not a credible source. I propose that it be removed as a separate side effect, and continue to be listed under other possible side effects.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarahRose12 34 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
