 | | Norplant can adversely affect lipid metabolism, resulting in the development of cardiac problems. | | | The body is instrumentalized through a correspondence between the analyzable and the manipulable body. | | | A woman is separated from her womb, her fetus, and her choice to have a baby in very concrete ways. |

| | FROM NORPLANT TO THE CONTRACEPTIVE VACCINE |
| | Norplant is ideal for this aim: it is more socially acceptable than sterilization, the method used for decades to reduce Third World birthrates, yet its effectiveness does not depend on the continuing cooperation of women thought to be too ignorant or backward to use other contraceptive methods. | | | Norplant may be an infallible way of preventing pregnancy, but it is a miserable means of promoting reproductive autonomy. | | | Their experience with Norplant is a telling example of how a woman's social circumstances affect her reproductive "choices." A woman whose insertion procedure was covered by Medicaid or private insurance may be uninsured at the time she decides to have the tubes removed. |

| | Certain conditions present before implant use, such as diabetes, may be affected by Norplant use; women with these conditions should be carefully monitored. | | | She should know that insertions and removals are simple procedures when performed by trained healthcare providers, and are not painful to most women. | | | This may include giving a medical history and having a pelvic exam to ensure that she has no diseases or conditions that would make it unsafe for her to use Norplant implants. |

| | I believe the Norplant system has been the most effective way of birth control for me. | | | I would suggest Norplant to anyone who does not want children anytime soon, or at all. | | | We need to take control of our fertility and our bodies, resisting these attempts to tell us what is good for us and when we are allowed to have children. |

| | In a study of teenage mothers in New York, the pregnancy rate was 1 of 48 subjects during 1 year of follow-up. | | | Plasma concentrations average 0.3 ng/mL over 5 years but vary greatly depending on body weight and metabolism. | | | Other actions of progestins include alterations in the endometrium that can impair implantation and an increase in cervical mucus viscosity which inhibits sperm migration into the uterus. |
