Nexplanon/Implanon removal - experiences afterwards?

66 replies

CooperLooper · 06/10/2019 14:21

Hello Smile

I had my implant out yesterday after being on it for just over 5 years. Plan is to TTC #1 but absolutely in no rush and not putting any pressure on ourselves.

I'm interested to hear about people's experiences after removal in terms of period/consistent cycle return? I've read all the threads on here but I'm confused that everybody is told different things by their nurse/doctor. Mine told me yesterday to expect a first period in 6 weeks. (I haven't had any periods at all in 5yrs whilst the implant was in).

Thank you all in advance!

Okay slightly off topic but because I am already on this thread - anyone else see a line here or am I being too hopeful?! I only had my implant out 17 days ago?! This is an ASDA test but my only concern is was it was verryyyyy slow to reach the control line - if that make sense? Almost like there wasn't enough wee 😂

@CooperLooper AF has arrived last night/this morning, so my app was correct which im a bit surprised about as thought this cycle would be longer than 29 days
@georgiexo all my fingers crossed for you too

@georgiexo I've got all my fingers crossed for you that it works :) please do let me know how you get on! X

@CooperLooper nope they have no reason at all maybe just being on contraception for so long, who knows. Yes it was nex although everyone else says they bled not long afterwards so maybe it's me.. we'll soon find out. 10 day course of Provera and the feedback about them have been really good. Praying it helps! Xx

@Nottsangel2015 I hope so too, not that he needs an ego boost as it is Grin

@georgiexo I'm so sorry to hear that, have the doctors said what might be the reason why? Was it Nexplanon you were on too?

@CooperLooper I had mine out in February and no blood whatsoever. Been put on provera today to try and induce a period so I can ovulate :(

Nottsangel2015 · 11/10/2019 19:51

Lol 😂 @Kraggle

@CooperLooper they are a strange bunch! Hopefully your dp is in the 'super spunk' club 😂😂

@Nottsangel2015 my Dh was also pretty pleased with his superior sperm!

Nottsangel2015 · 11/10/2019 19:05

When I had mine removed I was pregnant within 6 weeks and only a small withdrawal bleed after I had it out! We thought it would take a few months as that is what they advised so was shocked it happened so quick tho my husband claims it's his 'super spunk' Hmmlol

@Kraggle that would be a dream to have it happen so quickly like it did for you :)

I had my implant taken out in mid May, had a period two weeks or so later, found out in July I was pregnant and that happened for both pregnancies with my dd’s.

@blackpinkinyourarea ooo thank you! Any sign of AF?

@ceejla gosh that does sound weird, I hope your cramping stops soon. Did you have regular bleeds whilst on the implant?

@CannonCaboodle they do need changing every 3 yrs, but you get one taken out and a new one put in at the same time if you want to continue using birth control...

OP posts:
CannonCaboodle · 11/10/2019 16:55

Eh? Thought these implant things only lasted 3 years?

ceejla · 11/10/2019 16:52

I had my implant out 25th September (2 weeks 2 days ago) I had what I can only imagine was a withdrawal bleed on 28th & 29th September. I then had spotting, (potentially) EWCM & cramps exactly 1 week after removal for 2 days. I have since been having severe cramps the last 3 days (exactly 2 weeks after removal).

God knows what is going on!

blackpinkinyourarea · 11/10/2019 09:49

@CooperLooper ooh that's all sounding very promising! Fingers crossed for you Smile
By the way i have looked on Amazon and the CB Advanced OPKs have dropped too £25, and interestingly the non advanced ones have just shot up to £32!! So im going to get stocked up for my next cycle. AF is due today but not arrived yet, hoping it comes soon as really just want to get cracking on with cycle 2.

Hey @blackpinkinyourarea keeping you updated as I promised! It's been 5 days since I had my implant out and I figured I'd try a couple of OPKs to get an idea of what my body is doing. I got a flashing smiley on a CB digital today which is a good sign that my long lost friend AF will likely return in around 14 days I suppose, if I'm close to ovulating again in the next day or two Smile

@CooperLooper

Thank you.

I don't think there is any medical evidence that suggests that is the case, the main reason they suggest waiting for one cycle is so that it is easier to date, as they date your pregnancy from your LMP (last period), so without one, they have to go by scan measurements etc.

There are many people who fall pregnant on their first cycle either after coming off of BC, or after a MC and have successful pregnancies.

Hey @ceebee21 I'm really sorry to hear that, that must have been tough.

I've read literally hundreds of MN threads over the last couple of weeks - are MCs more common if people get pregnant in their first cycle after BC? Seems to be a lot of people that unfortunately happens to.

Very best of luck to you xxx

Hello,

I had my implant out on July 9th and found out I was pregnant exactly 4 weeks later... without a period!

Unfortunately I miscarried, but just thought I would share how quickly my cycle returned, bearing in mind I didn't have any periods (the odd spotting) whilst my implant was in

Hi OP. I had my implant out in the October and was pregnant with my son by December. All I had was some spotting around the time of cocneption, but before hand, no hint of a period. The implant was my second one and had been in since April. Good idea regarding zero pressure. Best of luck OP Flowers

@blackpinkinyourarea no not yet either as we're still so early on, but I've researched it quite a bit and will likely consider it if we've not been lucky after a few months.
I think it's a great idea to try and read the signs from your own body yourself though :) it does make you realise how cool women's bodies are
