She reports that this is her third implant, which was inserted nine months ago.

Stephanie now wants it removed as she wants to try to conceive. She also mentions that this implant has felt uncomfortable and “weird” since insertion.

Stephanie is a nulligravida who has never smoked, drinks no alcohol and is not on any regular medication apart from prenatal vitamin supplements.
