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:.
