How popular is that shoulder implant birth control method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly: The implant is placed in the upper arm, it is a Progesterone only method of birth control that lasts 3 years. My patients have liked the method. It may cause irregular unpredictable light periods, but overall is well tolerated.
