Hi Cindy,

It can take a couple with no known fertility issues up to 12 months to conceive, most doctors will do investigations after you have been trying for that period, however, in some circumstances they will begin investigations earlier.

When I had my Implanon removed the doctor asked if I would like another and I said no because we are trying to coneive (TTC). I think if you just let your GP now that you are TTC as there are pre-pregnancy checkups that they may wish to do. If your periods (AF) have always been irregular then I would mention this as it may prompt them to look at various issues such as PCOS.

All the best and hope your TTC journey is a short one.
