I just had my Implanon removed almost 2 weeks ago and I had started my period after not having one for almost a year and a half while I was still on it and that same night and quite a few times since I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend but after the first time I stopped bleeding the next day when I was having a heavy flow. We are trying to get pregnant is it possible that the sudden stop of my flow is a sign? And if not how long might it take to get pregnant because I am ready to have another baby my son turns 3 in 6 days and I have baby fever... help please

Not usually. Your body is just getting used to the lack of that hormone. It usually takes months to get pregnant after stopping birth control.

Actually I was just reading up on it on the implanon website and studies have shown that women have been able to get pregnant with in the first week of removal and it they have a whole little part on it its titled "return to ovulation" thats why the recomend that u get on another contraceptive asap if u want to continue to prevent pregnancy... I do appreciate ur answer though I wasnt trying to be rude because both are correct I guess ill just have to find out thank u

I was on implanon for 2 years and 6 months . I got it july12th2011 and took it out june 2nd 2014 im 22 and me and my boyfriend / fiance has been trying since the first day I got it taking out . Im worried something is wrong with my ovaries / uterus whichever may be the case I've been off it 4 months now and still no baby . Im starting to lose all hope and give up I pray and cry every night because my daughter is now 3 and is in school i know im young and shouldn't want kids but im a great mother and I just want one more baby . I assumed since im young active take very good care of mymyself and my periods are all on time it shouldn't be this hard or take this long to have a child . HELP , I get hope when I read you guys comments . Just really want my baby girl to have a little sister .

The studies talk about a rare incidence. What we see here is the long wait to get pregnant. Do you think the they're going to tell you oh, you won't get pregnant for 2 yrs after removal. Once in a great while it happens but its not the norm.

kscott-don't fret, if you're not pregnant in a year see a dr. Chances are good its just the time after the implant that has to happen.

I'm going through a similar situation. I had my implanon for 3 years, got it removed in April. My periods became regular right away since the removal, same time every month. But I started a few days late last month and it was very irregular. I do feel a little nauseous at times and I have already taken 2 tests and both cane out negative. I have a soon to be 4 year old and my family and I really want another soon. It does make me sad that it hasn't happened yet. Hoping that everything is ok with my body.

I got the implanon out on the 19th of December, I have been trying ever since for a child, I'm 25 & so far no joy :-(
it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant & I can't, it's so upsetting, so far I've had about 4 peroids 2 of which were either a week late or 4 days late,
I'm really starting to lose out hope :-(

It does not take months to het pregnant when you take your bc out I got pregnant 3 days after I took it out

It depends on the type of birth control. Pills you can get pregnant immediately after stopping them. With implant removal you may get pregnant following next menstral cycle.

i had mine removed on the 18th of September, have not had a period and just found out i'm almost 6 weeks pregnant. It can happen straight away! i had mine in for 3 years and obviously did not affect my fertility. every body is different though, don't put pressure on yourself to conceive.

Hi I'm new to the site and really need some answer. Recently my fiance and I decided to TTC so I got my BC (Implanon) removed Oct. 14, 2014 I've had it in since May 2012. I was still on my menstural cycle when I got it removed which started Oct. 3, 2014 and ended Oct. 17, 2014. Since being on the Implanon my cycles have been longer. So im not sure how to keep up with my ovulation. My fiance and I have had; sorry! intercourse since removal of BC and since menstural cycle ended. I've been moody, stressed, and extremely anxious. I started to lightly spot yesterday very lightly, but nothing today. What could this mean? Am I already pregnant or could it be spotting because of removal of the BC. Like i said i was still on my period when I got it removed. I know alot of people say be careful because you could possibly MC if you get prego before your first period! But i was told by my OBGYN that we could start ttc immediately! So im a lil nervous and scared all in one! PLZ HELP!! Baby Fever is taking over, lol! Thanks to whom ever replies. Hoping for Baby #4

When was your LMP before removal? Did you have any symptoms prior to getting a BFP? When exactly did you first test positive?
Tomorrow will be exactly a month since my removal and I have not seen AF since Sept. 17th.

Sorry to ask on a pre-existing question, but I don't know how to post a new one. I got my implanon in May 2012, and I got it out October 20th, 2014. Significant other and I have unprotected sex nearly everyday. (Sorry if it's TMI) We've continued doing so. I'm a type 1 diabetic with pretty well controlled diabetes. Recently my sugars have become a bit harder to control. Could this be a sign that I've gotten pregnant? Or would it most likely be due to hormonal changes?

There is always the fact that its not as easy for anyone to get pregnant as you girls seem to think it is. When a healthy couple has sex, there is a 35% chance of pregnancy. There is no way to tell you when you'll get pregnant.

I've had my implant for exactly four years and had it removed two weeks ago, I've had a normal period while on the implant but in the few years I've been on it I missed my period for almost four months but my cycle went back to normal and has been since then. I really want another baby with my husband when he returns from Afghanistan and I just wanted to ask if anyone can tell me if this month he will be home I'll be lucky? Since I've had a normal period after it was removed?

Hi. I had my implanon put in September 2012. I had it removed in January 2015. My husband and I are trying to conceive for our last child. When I had it removed my doctor told me I should start my period within the weekend. I didn't start, so I thought there was a possibility I was pregnant already but 2 weeks later I started. I've had a period regularly since then and have had no luck getting pregnant! My husband and I have unprotected intercourse almost every day and I have a calendar to keep track of my ovulation. Could I be counting wrong? Can the implant affect my fertility for good?

Hiya, also another newbie here. I was wondering those who had your implant removed and fell pregnant right away did you have any show of a period after removal?
I had my implant removed at the end of March and had a but of spotting which lasted a couple days (it usually lasts about7) it's too early to detect but is there a chance I could be pregnant? As my husband and I had unprotected sex 2 days before removal.
We were unaware of the 7 day rule and being recently married weren't ttc but always said we would be happy if it were to happen. Xxx

Hi I didn't fall expecting after my implant removal I think it was just my hormones trying to regulate. I wouldn't say my periods returned to normal either as I was only having a 23day average cycle until I fell expecting in May, so it's still early days. Try to think positive and maybe try give your body a few cycles before trying to conceive again. I hope it all works out X
