A member asked:
Instead of my nexplanon that is in my arm being in a straight line i t has shifted and is now slanted will it be any problems when it's taken out ?

No: Sometimes the Nexplanon implants can have a curve or a slant when in the arm. This should not pose a problem when it's time for removal.

Not at all: If you can palpate it, it's a piece of cake to remove. Don't worry about it ; enjoy the contraceptive benefits.
