I am due to have my Nexplanon implant removed at the start of next month with a view to start TTC #2. First time round we had been using condoms for a while before we started so didn't have to factor in waiting for cycles to return and hormones to stabilise etc.
I know that you can theoretically get pregnant within a week according to their website but I'm interested to know how long it took people in practice?

I had my nexplanon taken out on 07/02/2024 with the view to ttc immediately. To be honest, I wish that I had taken it out sooner because my cycle was much longer on the implant compared to the "norm" so trying to figure out when I am likely to be ovulating was tough as I knew my cycle would probably change over the months following removal. It's logical to think that it would take some time for hormones and cycle to settle down but I'm a bit impatient 😆.
I had some form of period on 13/03/2024 which was my first since getting the implant taken out but it was more like spotting and only lasted a few days. I am using ovulation sticks to try and help me figure out when I am ovulating and they have all been negative or had a very faint line which is also a negative.
Today, 2 weeks after my period started, I've had my first positive ovulation test which I am really surprised and happy with. I'm trying to not get too excited though because I know it usually takes a while but just having something definitive has made me feel positive and feel like I might be getting a bit of a grip on my cycle now.
Luckily me and my husband done the deed this morning before I tested so possibly we might of caught the window for conception but if not I'll know for next cycle to try a few days before I'm due to ovulate.
Wishing you all the luck :)

I didn't keep note of any dates, but i know i was surprised by how quick it was. My periods were all over the place and I wasn't even trying to track when I was most likely to fall pregant (and I only saw my then partner at weekends anyway) so I don't think it made it it take any longer than it probably would have anyway 😂
