konstanzie: I got Implanon today! I went to Planned Parenthood. I had originally gone in for a consultation, but when I told them I’m a Teen Council member and that I know all about it, they doctor thought I could get it in then! So I did. I’m surprised how easy it was. I’m so happy. Everyone at the clinic was so nice and helpful. It was a great experience, and why I love Planned Parenthood. Glad you had a good experience and found a method that works for you. For those not in the know, Implanon is a matchstick-sized rod that is inserted in the arm to prevent pregnancy and lasts for up to three years.

On July 18, 2011, I had my sexual awakening. It has officially been a year since I decided to become part of the “sexually active” club. It has been one year since I decided to take the leap and decided that it was time, my time, to figure out what this sex business was all about. Jeez, it…

One in five women in the U.S. has visited a Planned Parenthood health center. Each of them (and a growing number of men) has a story.  Whenever patients or supporters share their experiences, either with us directly or with the larger public, we’re honored and humbled. It’s stories like these that keep us going.
