When to come off implant?

[AltoEager]

Getting married to fiance mid July.

We are going on honeymoon for the last 2 weeks of July and want to start conceiving either on honeymoon, or as soon as we get back (depends if I can face a sober honeymoon with the old trout as to if we try on honeymoon or later!)

I have the implant, have had it in for a year, no periods at all.

I read that you should take folic acid for 3 months before starting trying...

What if it takes a year to conceive? Can I take folic acid all that time without overdosing!

Big question is when to get out the implant? Now? Later? Still got some condoms so contraception would be OK...we'd use them if we had to. Obviously the dream situation is to be on the implant. No periods, no condom usage. But if my body needs a few months to get back to normal I'd rather know now IYSWIM

I know everyone is different etc etc but any advice at all?

i thought with the implant its pretty much out of the arm out of the system, so i dont think you need ages off it. You could come off for a couple of months to check ur cycle goes back to normal if it makes you feel better. id say think about how you'd feel if u came on ur period mid honeymoon, would be a partypooper! if it was me, id wait til after the honeymoon, another couple of weeks doesnt make much difference. unless of course you're 47 then id take the bleeder out quick ;)its the last chance for a while to go away together and just be the two of you. id enjoy being able to drink and stay up late and 'practice' making babies. x

Ah you're so right, I didn't even think about having a period on honeymoon. Doh!

Almost disappointed, I want the baby now... but I think after the HM is better thanks :D
