How long does it take after Implanon?

[tk1999]

AngieT... Just wondering about an update on your life after Implanon? Did AF arrive or did you get the BFP?

ASM... I am still waiting... it was 7 weeks yesterday since it was out. I have been getting slight cramps for the past few days that feel like AF is on her way but nothing thus far... I am not dealing well with this waiting game or the unknown factor!! Would love to hear from anyone who has had an Implanon out and it 'took a bit longer' for AF to come back

Hi All

I had implanon in for four years, the first one for three years and the second one for one year. It took me 40 days to get a legitimate AF after removal, and I did not ovulate the first cycle after that AF (it was 38 days).

While I had the implant in, my cycles were all over the place, I would have a period once every three months and then another one two weeks later, and the bleeding was sometimes light, sometimes very heavy. It didn't bother me at the time though.

After removing the implant my cycles gradually shortened to 25 days then went back up to a regular 28 day cycle ovulating on CD14. I fell pregnant on the 12th cycle after removal, nearly 12 months later.

While I enjoyed implanon at first, I don't think I will ever go back to chemical birth control.

Is anyone charting to see if they are ovulating? Good luck to you all :goodluck2:.

I had implanon in for about 7 months. It took 11 months to get the baby i'm carrying now after 2 early miscarriages.

Well after having my Implanon out in early August, I got AF yesterday - all up it took her 10 weeks to return but there was medical intervention as I was put on Metformin for PCOS by the Gynae and had been on it for almost a week when she showed up.
If you are like me and didn't get a lot of AF whilst the Implanon was in then OMG watch out for the first one... it hurts a lot.

Oscaroscar, I have just started temping... didn't really see the point when AF wasn't around but now that she has returned I started charting to see where things are...

Good luck to those TTC
