TTC

[JellyTot30]

Hello all, so I had my nexplanon implant removed on the 18th January, and strangely enough I got my AF 20mins before I left for my appointment, so before it was even removed (after having no periods while the rod was in my arm) and it lasted 3-4 days, but I haven't seen AF since then, and all HPT have been BFN, I wondered if anyone had any stories on how long it took them to conceive after nexplanon please and why I'm still waiting for AF and getting BFN's

Please respond

Anyone? 😬

It can often take your body time to get back to cycles after a hormone contraceptive. It varies a lot, I heard off ppl getting pregnant strait away, or having a few months of no cycle. My experience is from the pill and I had 14 months without a cycle after that.

I also had my nexplanon removed on 18th Jan! I had a bit of spotting for a few days after removal, then I ovulated on 4th Feb. Was excited I'd ovulated quite soon after removal, but then got my period on 11th Feb which was about a week earlier than expected, so I just think it might take a few cycles to settle down.

I've definitely seen others waiting a month or two before getting a period, or having a few long cycles shortly after having it removed. I know it's no help but I just think everyone is different and your body will adjust!

Yeah totally normal as pp has said. It will take a few months to regulate. Took me 9 months to conceive after coming off the implant. Good luck!

(TMI PICTURE) Thanks so much for all of your responses, I had this today, anyone know what it is? Start of my period or something else?

Please respond

Any ideas anyone? It's bothering me 👎🏼

I got mine out 11th Jan and didn’t have proper AF until 5th feb. I don’t think it’s classed as a proper period when you have it in, it can take a few weeks. Also had withdrawal bleed which was spotting for a couple days when it first came out

That type of discharge is usually old blood that has taken a while to pass. Sometimes can happen at beginning of your AF.

@Kty09 @Timetobeamummy thank you for the reply ladies, so should I not class the period I had on the 18th as a proper period then and just class today as my CD1?

@JellyTot30 I would wait and see what happens tomorrow as sometimes discharge can happen anytime of your cycle. Annoying I know has happened to me a few times. If it’s AF will probably be more regular tomorrow.

@Timetobeamummy thank you lovely, I will see how I go tomorrow really praying it's AF as I want to get my body back to normal properly before we ttc properly

I was exactly the same really impatient! Gosh I knew about it when i did get AF for first time so bloated and cramps for first couple of days. Are you TTC your first?

@Kty09 it's so frustrating isn't it, but, AF has just made an appearance thank god, got the worst stomach and back pains 😭 I never got bad p pains before the implant but obvs where I haven't had one for so long it's so painful haha no I have a DD already, she's 6, so will be my second 😊
