Also worth noting, if your friend was also Deaf from birth, then having that implant may still not mean they are able to process things 100% like we can. Their brains wired a bit differently when they were younger due to a lack of having one of their five senses, in order to help make up for the lack of a sense. My ASL teacher in high school was Deaf from birth and he had a cochlear implant. He still talked in that very rounded way that some Deaf people may talk in, and had trouble sorting through what one person would say if the entire class was talking. This can change from person to person though.

If you can, try Planned Parenthood. They're free, and in my experience, more willing to listen to you and do what you want as long as it's informed. I am currently still arguing with my OBGYN about getting the arm implant (Implanon I think it's called) which lasts for 3-5 years depending on the one you get, and no period during that time and it's the same medicine as the pill. He says I wouldn't like it because it's surgery. To cut a small slit and insert it. Made me so mad.
