Speaking of pregnancy. Has anyone heard of birth control where you get an injection? I don't know what it's called, but your doctor, or you, can inject this stuff into your arm or something. A girl at work was mentioning it but wasn't very clear on how effective it was, or really clear on anything about it for that matter. Her doctor just prescribed it and she did it.

I'm considering doing this. The doctor won't put me on the pill and I don't like condoms, so I'm kinda just hoping each month. I need something! Anyone use this or know about it?


I've seen BC patches, you wear for a week, then replace with a new one.
I asked my wife about this, but she says they're expensive.
Don't know about the injection kind...weren't there strips that were implanted
under your skin? What happened to those?


Patches aren't really any more expensive than the pill.....she should look into them.

Norplant was the method of birth control that had little plastic tubes of hormones implanted under the skin of the arm. They took them off of the market because there was trouble with a few of them not having the right dosage of hormones. Norplant was good for 5 yrs, I think. They're going to be reintroducing a new and improved version soon.
