Why specifically the implants do you think? I appreciate more studies especially looking at extended usage are definitely needed. At least so far there's no evidence of increase in certain kinds of cancers or reduction of bone density (unlike depo). Still, I've just realised I've been using nexplanon for 15 years and I have no way to know what impact it's actually had on me.
Just the length of time present, really. I suppose the hormonal IUD would be included in this. But it's idle speculation more than anything - I have given a longer reply to another comment.
