I heard about a new birth control that sounds a whole lot like the old Norplant. It is called Nexplanon. I've been trying to find the side effects and even a government Health and Human Services page about it basically says, "Don't worry! Side effects are basically breakthrough bleeding!" The Planned Parenthood page I found didn't list any negative side effects, simply saying it might not be the right choice for some women. It seems unlikely that the only possible side effect is breakthrough bleeding in your cycle.
All I can think of is how big a disaster Norplant was. It seems to me that everyone loves a new birth control and they only worry about how well it prevents pregnancy. No one seems all that worried about the effects on women.
