Has anyone had problems conceiving after NORAPLANT?

When I was 18 I got pregnant withmy first child. I gave birth to him when I was 19. 3 weeks after giving birth to my son I became pregnant with Twins. I made it to my 4th month of pregnacy in which sadly I miscarried. The doctor recomended I gaev my body some time to rest. and Offered Noraplant. he said It could be removed  when ever I felt at a later date.  Well After 1  year of 80 lb weight gain  and migraine headaches  I went to my doctor and told him of my syptoms. He prescribbed IBprofen for the migraines and sent me on my marry way.  Well for the remainder of the year I went back and forth complainingof the pain in my arm and the headaches and the steady weight gain. Finally 2 yeas and 3 months later they removed the noraplant in a painful way. I felt like they where cutting my arm off.  
Any way I finally got the noraplant removed in 1997 I was told it would only take a short time for me to get pregnant they said it would be 6months - 1 year.
   DUring this time The weight gain jumped another 40 lbs  and and the migrains have been on and off alot less from before. My last pregnancy ended in Miscariage again.
   ANd in 2001 I had to have my right OVARY AND FALLOPIAN tube removed due to cysts.

HAS any one gone through any of this? or something of this sort? Is there a class action suit? If any one has gone through this have they had a baby  healthy following this?

Someone probably did a search for Norplant.  It's good the subject comes back up however for the sheer informative factor.

There is a statute of limitations with the class action lawsuit, and that is probably what the issue is.  They figure you should've figured it out at 18 or something Bombay.  The lawsuits were so long ago I don't know if there is anything at all that can be done now.  Especially since it wasn't very publicized and not too many people were informed of the situation going on with the law suit.  But what can we do?  Nothing, except visit our doctors and hope our insurance is good enough now I suppose.
