I am also awaiting AF - my implanon has been out since early August as it's useful life expired, I was using Implanon since August 2002 (2 implants of 3 years duration). My cycles were never regular whilst using Implanon (which at the time I loved but now is a huge source of frustration) so I am not sure where I am at with a cycle and my GP has said that it is not a concern for him as yet and if it gets to 6 months and no AF then he will be concerned. Other people (medical and non-medical) have said that after Implanon it can take time which is fine I am happy to wait but I am also scared by this and don't really have anyone to talk to as I don't want to tell my family etc that we are TTC... I only want to tell them anything once there is a BFP and the 12 week mark has been passed.

My DP and I decided that after the expiry date of the second implant we would not prevent TTC so we are DTD about 3-4 times a week. I have read people's success stories after Implanon but there are just as many scary stories - especially one where it was commented that continuing the use of Implanon (ie a new implant after the first 3 years) can affect your fertility... I am just scared and confused and trying to not stress about it because I don't want stress to keep AF away any longer!!

At least if AF visited once I would know where I was at...
