PIP: Norplant is a safe, effective contraceptive which is associated with long continuation rates. However, the problem of irregular bleeding causes many women to request removal of the implants. This situation can be ameliorated if women are properly counseled and advised to avoid the contraceptive implant if an altered pattern of bleeding will likely be unacceptable. Women must also be in charge of when the implant is removed. The client's decision to remove the implants should never be refused or postponed by the clinician; to do so turns a voluntary method of contraception into a compulsory one. If clinicians are inserting Norplant, they should be able to remove it. Several techniques have been developed, and the new Emory technique may prove to be helpful to clinicians experiencing difficulties. Only by urging women to return with problems and by removing the implant on demand will the future use of this excellent contraceptive be insured. A reproducible chart of precautions and early warning signs for Norplant users is attached to this article.^ieng
