Implant removed and TTC

[Staceymado04]

Hi, I had my implant removed after 3.5years of having it, on 16th January. When I had the implant I never once had a period. After 1 month of removal there is still no sign of a period. Me and my husband are TTC with our second babes and the last week I’ve been feeling quite unwell with sickness and feeling sick, light headed, headaches. Could I be pregnant even tho I’ve only had my implant removed a month ago?
Has anyone else fell pregnant straight after implant removal? Hope you can help ladies. TIA xx

Hi Momof2boyss,

I'm new so don't know how to tag people, sorry!

I saw you had your implant removed on 4th Feb, I had mine removed on 6th Feb and had no AF since so we seem in a similar boat? I had strong cramping 28th Feb - 1st Mar, which felt like AF was going to make an appearance but she didn't come. Since then I've just had mild aching which comes and goes.

All negative tests so far, I'm wondering if I should give up hope for this month and just hope AF comes soon

Hey @HannahJones3

Seems we defo are in a similar situation!

My doctor said she's not concerned that I've not had a period yet. If by 6 weeks after having it removed I've not had anything still then to return for bloods.

She explained that day 1 of removal it's like day 1 of your cycle and some women have a long cycle so to wait 6 weeks before going for any tests etc.

I've been taking pregnancy tests most days and all have been definite negatives! Last time I took one was weds and it was a FRER so if I was pregnant surely it would have shown something?

I have no idea what my body is up to I just hope this is either a proper period or I end up falling pregnant because it's driving me insane.

Keep us updated how you get on if AF shows or you get a BFP xx

@Momof2boyss

Oh wow, what your doc said is really helpful, I had no idea when to assume my cycle started, I went from the day I got the implant removed because that's the day I also had the withdrawal bleed so it's closest I could get.

I also took a FRER, on the 5th of this month and I thought the same as you - it should show positive by now. Really disappointing.

I will keep you updated, and please keep me updated too! Hubby and I are keeping it secret so it's a bit lonely for me doing this without support of friends. Fingers crossed for us

Can't quite believe I'm posting this but I haven't told anyone (my fiancé family etc)
I've just done 2 tests and they're positive..??
I'm in shock and so anxious but also excited!
I don't know what to think I'm in shock!!

Omg I'm so happy for you!! Congratulations!! And super jealous of course Thanks for keeping me updated, gives me hope I might be the same!
