how about contraceptive patch? does it really work? and can we get it in msia? i actually saw some westener with the patch on their arm b4. but am not sure whether can we get it in msia.
is there any other way beside, taking contraceptive pill, condom and IUD? heard something about injection for the female and can prevent pregnancy up to several months. is that true?
Hi i'm a young mother of 3... I've been using
IMPLANON since 2006...
It can last for about 3 years depending on the person's body mass.
So far I've never had any side effects; beside the minor headache once in a blue moon.
