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?

Also there are a lot of health problems that have been contributed to the Norplant, check the web for this information it has been awhile since I looked all this up
I recieved the Noraplant in 1994 after my first child birth. My results was a weakend heart,over 100 lbs. of weight gain,lost of hair,and head and muscle pain. I had the noraplant removed and had pregnancys after but none was normal. but the most shocking thing is I discoverd after they were removed there is still one stem left in my arm!! what should I do?? is ther any kind of class suit??
I have only been reading this board for a couple of days now and so badly wanted to ask the same question that you did. THANKS!!!!!
I thought I was the only one as well.
I got the Noraplant when my son was 6 weeks old (that was almost 9 years ago)
I had it removed after 3 years and went on the pill for a short time.
I didn't have any "major" problems with the Noraplant, other than the headaches, heavy periods that came when they wanted to and lasted however long they felt like (sometimes 3 or 4 weeks straight) and I also lost alot of hair every time I showered or brushed it but my hair grew back so fast that it was only noticable in the drain and the brush. I did not gain any weight though.
Anyway, I had the Noraplant removed (very painfully, just as you stated) about 6 years ago and I've been trying to conceive ever since. My husband and I tried for 5 years but nothing. We were divorced and I remarried two months ago and my hubby and I are trying but nothing yet (It's only been two months though)
I was wondering this month however since for the past three weeks I have been very irriatable, sick all the time, crampy day after day (cramps sometimes even go into the tops of my legs and around to my back), gained 10 pounds in a month, flutters in the stomach, more trips to the bathroom, lots of gas and distended stomach as the day progresses, very tired (at least one nap a day), and headaches much more often than usual. I have no idea what is going on with all that but I tested negative and AF came right on time.
Hope I was of some help with the Noraplant issue and maybe someone can tell me if "STRESS" can cause all the symptoms I've been having.
Hugs,
Vikki

No you where helpful. I need to know if I am the only one. Good or bad. Thank you Rubbie
I do know of one person who went on to have 3 more children follwing norplant, but she only had it for a few months before having major problems and getting it removed.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
