A member asked:
Would nexplanon be less effective if i am overweight (5'7", 180lbs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overweight: If you are using Nexplanon without concerns keep it on. 5'7" and 180 lbs is a bit too much weight. As a young woman you might have time to work out a day or so a week, perhaps more. That would help get rid of some of the overweight.
