Problem:If you're not into getting pregnant any time soon, you've probably done your fair share of birth control research. In evaluating your options, you've likely heard someone—maybe even us—preaching the IUD gospel: With over 99 percent efficacy, intrauterine devices are one of the most solid options for keeping your uterus fetus-free. But Nexplanon, an implant that goes in your arm, is right up there with them—and according to the data, sometimes it even has a slight edge over IUDs. 
  
 Here, everything you need to know to decide whether Nexplanon is right for you. 
  
 Nexplanon is a little matchstick-sized rod that gets implanted in the upper arm—which might sound weird, but it works. 
  
 Commonly called “the implant,” Nexplanon is small yet mighty. All its baby-fighting power comes in the form of a flexible plastic stick that is around an inch and a half long, board-certified ob/gyn Antonio Pizarro , M.D., tells SELF. It prevents pregnancy for up to three years by steadily releasing the hormone etonogestrel. 
  
 A synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, etonogestrel prevents ovulation by basically tricking your body into constantly thinking it's already released an egg, Jamil Abdur-Rahman , M.D., board-certified ob/gyn and chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Vista East Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois, tells SELF. It also thickens the cervical mucus, which makes it harder for sperm move around. 
  
 You may hear people call Nexplanon by the name Implanon, but there's only one contraceptive implant currently on the market. Implanon is Nexplanon's predecessor. Nexplanon is the new and improved form, revamped so it's easier to insert, Pizarro explains. 
  
 Just like the IUD, the implant is a great option for someone who wants something long-lasting but more low-maintenance in the day-to-day than the Pill or NuvaRing. 
  
 Better yet, Nexplanon's protection is basically unmatched . While the hormonal IUD's failure rate is 0.2 percent and the copper IUD's stands at 0.8 percent, Nexplanon squeaks past both with an even lower failure rate of 0.05 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . 
  
 "It does make things easier for women, and it's also nice, discreet option if someone is looking for that," says Abdur-Rahman. It's often possible to feel the implant through the skin of your arm, but usually you can only see it if your arm is really thin. 
  
 Insertion and removal may sound scary, but they're actually very simple procedures. 
  
 Yes, if you want the implant, it has to get inserted under the skin of your arm. "It doesn't require a large incision—it's a very small cut, almost more of a puncture," says Pizarro. Your doctor will numb the area first, so besides the anesthesia injection, you shouldn't feel much of anything. It definitely shouldn't be as uncomfortable as IUD insertion is often reported to be. "The implant [insertion] is a little bit of a nuisance, but not a big deal," Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale Medical School, tells SELF. "Numbing the cervix is a little bit trickier!" 
  
 If you get the insertion during your period, Nexplanon starts working immediately. If not, you'll need backup contraception for seven days, says Pizarro. And no matter what, your doctor will probably have you wear pressure bandages for a few days, says Nexplanon's site , but after that you're golden. 
  
 Removal should also be pretty straightforward. "It simply requires another incision, then the implant is pulled out with special instrument," says Pizarro. In rare cases, Nexplanon can get stuck or the doctor may have a hard time locating it, in which cause removal may require surgery . But that's so rare Pizarro's never heard of anyone actually having to get it done. "The skin is an interesting organ—the connective tissue has an integrity that keeps things from moving around," he explains. 
  
 Even though it's a lot like a hormonal IUD, Nexplanon doesn't always have the same period-improving effects—and it sometimes makes things a little worse. 
  
 Both Nexplanon and the IUD Mirena release a progestin hormone, but the latter “dumps that right on the lining of uterus, which is where action is," says Minkin. On the other hand, she explains, the implant’s hormone is traveling around in the bloodstream before it gets to the uterus. But even that is enough for some people's periods to get lighter or stop, says Pizarro. 
  
 That said, your cycle might get thrown out of whack after you start Nexplanon, and this effect can actually last the entire time you have it. "The implant can give you some funky bleeding ," says Minkin. In addition to irregular periods , you might also develop side effects like breast pain and headaches even if you never experienced them during regular PMS, Pizarro adds. 
  
 Once you get Nexplanon removed, you go back to regular fertility pretty much immediately. 
  
 Think it's time for a baby? Cool. All it takes is a few quick minutes for removal, then you're ready to start trying to conceive, says Minkin.

 Inmates in White County, Tennessee have been given credit for their jail time if they voluntarily agree to have a vasectomy or birth control implant, a popular new program that is being called “unconstitutional” by the ACLU. 
  
 On May 15, 2017 General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield signed a standing order that allows inmates to receive 30 days credit toward jail time if they undergo a birth control procedure. 
  
 Women who volunteer to participate in the program are given a free Nexplanon implant in their arm, the implant helps prevent pregnancies for up to four years. Men who volunteer to participate are given a vasectomy, free of charge, by the Tennessee Department of Health. 
  
 County officials said that since the program began a few months ago 32 women have gotten the Nexplananon implant and 38 men were waiting to have the vasectomy procedure performed. 
  
 Judge Benningfield told NewsChannel 5 that he was trying to break a vicious cycle of repeat offenders who constantly come into his courtroom on drug related charges, subsequently can’t afford child support and have trouble finding jobs. 
  
 “I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children. This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves,” Judge Benningfield said in an interview. 
  
 First elected in 1998, Judge Benningfield decided to implement the program after speaking with officials at the Tennessee Department of Health. 
  
 “I understand it won’t be entirely successful but if you reach two or three people, maybe that’s two or three kids not being born under the influence of drugs. I see it as a win, win,” he added. 
  
 Inmates in the White County jail were also given two days credit toward their jail sentence if they complete a State of Tennessee, Department of Health Neonatal Syndrome Education Program. The class aimed to educate those who are incarcerated about the dangers of having children while under the influence of drugs. 
  
 “Hopefully while they’re staying here we rehabilitate them so they never come back,” the judge said. 
  
 District Attorney Bryant Dunaway, who oversees prosecution of cases in White County is worried the program may be unethical and possibly illegal. 
  
 “It’s concerning to me, my office doesn’t support this order,” Dunaway said. 
  
 “It’s comprehensible that an 18-year-old gets this done, it can’t get reversed and then that impacts the rest of their life,” he added. 
  
 On Wednesday, the ACLU released this statement on the program: 
  
 "Offering a so-called 'choice' between jail time and coerced contraception or sterilization is unconstitutional. Such a choice violates the fundamental constitutional right to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity by interfering with the intimate decision of whether and when to have a child, imposing an intrusive medical procedure on individuals who are not in a position to reject it. Judges play an important role in our community – overseeing individuals’ childbearing capacity should not be part of that role."

Because there’s a judge reducing jail time for inmates willing to get their willy wicked. Judge Sam Benningfield of White County, Tennessee, one of those patches of land you pass driving from Knoxville to Nashville, has put in place a standing order that grants inmates 30 days’ credit on their sentences if they get a vasectomy. Women can earn the same credit for installing a Nexplananon implant. 
  
 The White County Courthouse is located in Sparta, making this the most backward, archaic punishment to come out of Sparta since Leonidas just kicked people into a pit. Here’s Judge Benningfield with his best “three generations of recidivists is enough” take: 
  
 Judge Benningfield told NewsChannel 5 that he was trying to break a vicious cycle of repeat offenders who constantly come into his courtroom on drug related charges, subsequently can’t afford child support and have trouble finding jobs. “I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not to be burdened with children. This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves,” Judge Benningfield said in an interview. 
  
 There needs to be a word for the phenomenon of a Neanderthal stumbling into something reasonably rational and then missing the point completely. The cycle of poverty is constantly contributing to delinquency as some — but by no means all, or even most — desperate people see no way out but to take escape their scripted existence through drugs or illicit activities. Some might try to disrupt that cycle of poverty. Judge Benninfield wants to keep criminals from having criminal babies. Hell, he probably has some phrenology training and knows a genetically predisposed criminal baby when he sees it. Whatever his real motivation, he wants to use the stick of the state to coerce people into trading their reproductive capacity for a month. Which many are going to do, because making stupid decisions because they feel cornered and desperate is kind of how they got to this point in the first place. 
  
 Apparently 80 inmates have signed on for this since the program began in May. White County only has around 26,000 residents — how many inmates can they possibly have? 
  
 At least there’s some sanity left out there: 
  
 District Attorney Bryant Dunaway, who oversees prosecution of cases in White County, is worried the program may be unethical and possibly illegal. “It’s concerning to me, my office doesn’t support this order,” Dunaway said. “It’s comprehensible that an 18-year-old gets this done, it can’t get reversed and then that impacts the rest of their life,” he added. 
  
 Yes! For the record, that’s a prosecutor who got elected to get tough on crime — being soft on [repeat] offenders is wrong — and even he’s willing to draw the line. He literally has nothing to lose by tacitly backing this insanity, so he deserves a lot of credit here. Too bad he’s bought himself a career-ending “He’s soft on crime dicks!” primary challenge next election. 
  
 As one might expect, the ACLU has some concerns as well: 
  
 “Offering a so-called ‘choice’ between jail time and coerced contraception or sterilization is unconstitutional. Such a choice violates the fundamental constitutional right to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity by interfering with the intimate decision of whether and when to have a child, imposing an intrusive medical procedure on individuals who are not in a position to reject it. Judges play an important role in our community – overseeing individuals’ childbearing capacity should not be part of that role.” 
  
 So now Dunaway’s on the same side as the ACLU. Damn, that attack ad is just writing itself. America may be a cultural cesspool, but it’s predictable. 
  
 White County Inmates Given Reduced Jail Time If They Get A Vasectomy [News Channel 5] |||||
Solution:
The ACLU calls it "unconstitutional." The judge calls it a way to give inmates a "chance." It's a novel program made available since May 15 to those incarcerated in White County, Tenn., that shaves 30 days off inmates' jail time if they submit to a birth control procedure. For men, it's a vasectomy; for women, the Nexplanon implant, which a 2016 Self article dubbed "even more effective than an IUD." General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield, the man behind the order, tells NewsChannel 5 his intention was pure: to break a cycle he sees continually replayed in his courtroom involving drug offenses and child support. "I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility and give them a chance, when they do get out, to not be burdened with children," he says. "This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves." Dozens are taking that chance: Thirty-two women have had the implant, and the Tennessee Department of Health will be performing vasectomies on 38 men. The ACLU isn't the only ruffled party. District Attorney Bryant Dunaway, who prosecutes White County cases, makes clear his office "doesn't support this order." A post at Above the Law points out Dunaway "got elected to get tough on crime ... and even he's willing to draw the line. He literally has nothing to lose by tacitly backing this insanity, so he deserves a lot of credit here."
