when my sister inlaw had hers removed she fell straight away! i think she had it in for a year and the pregnancy was a shock! not sure if she had a period . not much help i'm afraid. good luck when you start trying!!

Hiya,
I had the implant for 2 years and because its very low dose hormones that is released, as soon as its removed, the effects are reversed immediately - as Carlyfee stated with her sister-in-law!!

Good luck

Hi I'm a family planning nurse, i fit implants so i know my stuff about them. I also had one in for about 8 months and had it removed about 7 weeks ago. Fertility can return with 4 days of having the implant removed, 90% of woman are ovulating within 4 weeks. I thought i had OV 4 weeks ago, and exactly two weeks later i had my first period in 1year, so think i must of OV.

It seems to take people different amounts of time for their period to return but its usually 4-8 weeks. There isn't any known symptoms for coming off implant. Personally i didn't really have any, just usually pms prior to period.
Now i just need to wait and see if my cycles are regular. They should be but as a family planning nurse i know not all woman are text book. Good luck i hope your period return soon x

I had my implant removed 4 weeks ago tomorrow and have been having unprotected sex with my partner, ive had no period or spotting but am getting early pregnancy symptoms (tender nipples, toilet frequency, nausea and being so tired). Ive done 3 home tests which have all come back negative. I bled regularly through the implant and have missed one period so ive just put the period thing down to my body going back to normal after removal. has anyone else had these symptoms when coming off the implant, i would be grateful of knowing.

Hi. Ive also had my implant taken out this year on october 23, 2012 but i havent had a period yet. my doctor also told me i could get pregnant right awaywhen it gets taken out. Ive had lower back pain like i was on my period last week but it could have been cause i was ovulating. I'll keep you posted.
