As the title says really! 😆🙈
How long did it take you to fall pregnant after your implant removal?

Got mine removed 2years ago started trying last year. Got pregnant after 9months in March this year but had an MMC at 6 weeks pregnant. It's August and we are still trying.

The 1st 6months of having the implant removed my periods where all over the place ranging from 26 to 35day cycles. Now they're a constant 28days.

Everyone varies. I've heard of some people coming off contraception and getting pregnant immediately before their 1st period .

@Monday55
Thank you - I'm really sorry to hear of your loss 💕

I had mine out on the 11th August and I've not had AF either, I'm getting a lot of random cramping and period type pain for the last 2 weeks but nothings happening. I've been using OPK sticks to try and figure out if I'm ovulating but they haven't been much use yet 🙄

@DNpink82
Omg exactly the same as me! How weird is that!!! Literally at times I run to the loo as I think it's AF starting, but nothing..
the nurse I spoke to about it (same lady that took it out) said these don't sound like side effects of removal but equally couldn't tell me what it could be. So confused!

@ttc97 I'm putting it down to my uterus and ovaries sorting themselves out, I've had the implant in for 10 years in total and no periods. I just hope it doesn't take too long to get my periods to normal as I'm 38 and don't have time to waste 🤣🤣

MellowBird85 · 27/08/2020 21:50

One month. I couldn’t believe it, I’d been on it 6 years!

DNpink82 · 27/08/2020 22:18

@MellowBird85 that's good to know 👍🏼 I'm hoping it won't take us too long

LSL0708 · 28/08/2020 07:50

Hi @ttc97
I had my implant out at the beginning of June 2019 - Still no BFP unfortunately. But, just wanted to jump on to say that I think it's normal that you haven't had AF yet. My first AF after removal came around a month later. Had regular 27-29 day cycles since. So yours should arrive soon. Unless you get a BFP of course. Good luck!

DNpink82 · 01/09/2020 18:55

So looks like AF is coming today/tomorrow, massive cramps, bloated and a pink tinge (tmi 🤣). It's exactly 3 weeks since I had my implant out, hopefully we can start trying properly now and I'm happy it's come now and not when I'm on holiday in 2 weeks 🙈🤣

ttc97 · 01/09/2020 19:43

@DNpink82 fab news, hope AF arrives tomorrow 💓
I thought the same Sunday night, was in agony with stomach cramping, although I actually have been each day since removal 😩🤦🏼‍♀️
'AF' came with a vengeance on Monday morning, I was doubled over in pain all day and in tears and then today it's completely fizzled out into nothing but a slight pink tinge when wiping.. sorry, TMI! 😅 so gutted. I think this was my 'withdrawal bleed' so to speak. Not sure if you still ovulate after a withdrawal / breakthrough bleed or not. Feel a bit cheated haha! 😩 xx

@ttc97 I've got a job interview tomorrow morning so hope these cramps do one 🤣 I just want a period so we can move forward

gems05 · 03/09/2020 13:15

@DNpink82 I had mine out on 11th too and the last few days have had cramps thinking AF on the way. Today I have some spotting so I'm guessing later today or tomoz should be full swing. Least I can start proper tracking now 😁

DNpink82 · 03/09/2020 13:29

@gems05 I've been spotting for 2 days, still bloated and cramps but no AF yet 🙄 we go on holiday in 11 days so hoping it hurries up 🙈

DNpink82 · 05/09/2020 20:27

Feeling a bit deflated, no AF arrived. 2 days of a pink tinge but nothing, I had awful cramps and now I'm exhausted constantly but still don't know where I'm up to 🤷‍♀️ I know it's not been long but I just want to get started on our ttc journey 😞

Elmo230885 · 05/09/2020 20:40

I had an implant for 9 years (obvs replaced as needed). Got a positive test about 7 weeks after it was removed. My DH had spoken to friends of his and they had told him it took them around a year so his face was a picture when I told him. I had the implant put back in for a little over a year and when it was removed it was about 12 weeks until the positive test (mostly as having a 1 year old really hinders ttc). I appreciate we were very fortunate.
All the best to those of you ttc x

DNpink82 · 05/09/2020 21:36

@Elmo230885 did you have any normal periods between removal and conceiving? I had mine in for 10 years so expected things to take a while but now it's out I'm being impatient. I'm also 38 so I feel my clock is ticking 😬

Honey0611 · 05/09/2020 22:07

I had mine out after 9 years on the 13th August and still waiting. To be honest getting really impatient now as want to start tracking. Just got to remain motivated!

Hall84 · 05/09/2020 22:14

My implant was removed at the end of March last year. I'd had it for around 5 years. First AF around 6 weeks later and my little girl was born in February this year. Good luck!

Fainey · 05/09/2020 22:36

I had my nexplanon removed on 29th August after 15 years total, regular periods throughout though. I'm still waiting to see how my body adjusts but tracking based on what my cycle was before for the time being!

ttc97 · 05/09/2020 22:39

Amazing thank you all! I've just had my first AF after removal of the implant on 4th August. Af came on 31st August, so now waiting to see what happens ovulation wise. Hoping I fall fast! Xx

ShalomToYouJackie · 05/09/2020 22:43

A month, didn't have a period first!

ttc97 · 05/09/2020 23:41

@ShalomToYouJackie firstly can I say.. I love your username SO much 🥰😍 I am a massive Friday night dinner fan 😂🙈

Secondly- how amazing is that?! I'm hoping I will fall quickly.. I'm anything like my mum, auntie etc they all fell pregnant on their first cycle TTC 🥳🎉

Moooms · 05/09/2020 23:51

I had mine out, had one period, and then fell pregnant the next cycle. I used OPK as I was so impatient! I was very lucky it seems.

I wish you all lots of luck in your TTC journeys! X

Dollybird89 · 06/09/2020 07:56

I had mine out Nov 2018.. No af until Oct 19 mini pill until Feb this year and been ttc ever since but still no bfp

Elmo230885 · 06/09/2020 15:54

@DNpink82 when I initially had it out I had a very light period and then fell pregnant. I was 30 when I had it out.
When I had the implants in my periods pretty much stopped. Prior to having implants my periods had always been light and irregular so I'd not even thought about any kind of ovulation tracking!
