A member asked:
I have a family planning implant under my arm since 2012 to be expired next year and i just got married when do i remove it. will i reduce in weight

Removing implant: The time to remove a contraceptive implant that hasn't expired yet depends upon whether you wish to conceive shortly. If you don't want to conceive then you can wait till expiration to have it removed. Weight loss is variable when you stop using hormonal contraceptives.
