Dear Maria, The implant was not even for birth control,it was to stop the periods being 21 days apart and lasting 11 days and also the pain 2 days proir.The husband has had 'the snip'(his words).I certainly don't like the idea of foreign hormones.My mother died from cancer ,2 years after hormone treatment had started.Migraines almost every day will not give a quality of life, especially with 4 children at home aged 1-8.The older 2 children live elsewhere.Thanks for the info.I will be saying 'no' to an implant.Ann --- Maria Helena <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Ann, > > Your "Gyno", which sounds more like a "Rhino", is > suggesting that you change > from six to half a dozen! > I am a gynecologist in Brazil and recently published > a book on natural > menopause and healthy living, bringing some light > into this hormone > imposition debate.
