TTC after Nexplanon removal

[cw1990]

Hi everyone. I am new to this. My partner and I are trying for baby number 2. I had my Nexplanon implant removed 12th September. I was hoping any of you could enlighten me. How long does it take for period to return? I didn't have them when the implant was in. My GP told me you return to normal fertility straight away. Thanks everyone

Hey cw. I had my nexplanon removed on sept 13th. I didn't have my periods either. My after nexplanon removal period starts Sept 17th. So I guess everyone is different.

 

[cw1990]

Very confused. Still no period after 15 days! How long do I wait? When should I test?

 

[bbygurl719]

The website says u can test 3 weeks from removal

 

[cw1990]

Thanks. I'll do that if nothing happens before then. Good luck ttc 😀

It really is totally unpredictable. First time round after removal I was pregnant within 6 weeks with one small withdrawal bleed inbetween. This time I'm on cycle 3 and no sign of sticky bean yet! Hope you get lucky very soon! X

 

[cw1990]

Good luck to you too! I'm secretly hoping that I will be lucky enough to get pregnant without AF. I've heard some people fall straight away. Probably a bit optimistic but we will see! At least if AF comes I can properly plan out the monthly cycles. Where are you in your cycle?

I am cd 15 and think I am 2DPO. Hoping this month is the month as we have good timing with BD and CM was EWCM after adding in taking evening primrose supplements this month.
I am always really optimistic all the way up to O and then really down in the dumps assuming the worst for the TWW. Not long to wait tho as FFstats says I can test next Friday based on my cycle length.
I hope you get a sneaky one too, this waiting sucks!

 

[cw1990]

That does all sound positive! I just noticed our Son's are similar in age. Hugo was born 20/12/2013. The waiting is the hardest. I'm terrible for doing tests even though I know it is too soon!

 

[Sparrowmummy]

Yes me too! Tho I took it to new heights yesterday as did an opk got a stark white, checked the packaging and it was an HPT! Testing at 1DPO was a new experience for me lol.
Realistically there is now way I'll hold out. I'm just not going to buy any then I won't be able to test!!
Yes they are similar in age. Dylan was 15days late! He just wasn't keen on making his entry lol.

 

[bbygurl719]

I'm on CD 12 hope to ovulate soon

 

[cw1990]

Haha that is funny. I'm going to do the same and not buy any so I don't keep testing. I must of tested 100 times with my son, and we got pregnant on 3rd cycle after the pill! Wow 15 days late! Hugo was 2 days late bit I was induced so who knows how long he would have kept me waiting! !

 

[cw1990]

I'm on CD 12 hope to ovulate soon

Good luck!

 

[bbygurl719]

I must have been tired last night lol I was cd13 n now cd14 lol

 

[cw1990]

Wish I knew my cycle day! It's been so 19 days since Nexplanon removal

 

[bbygurl719]

I had a three day bleed after my nexplanon so that's the only reason I know but I don't know if it accurate or if the bleed wasn't a period it was weird.

 

[cw1990]

I'd count it as one anyway! Best of luck this month!

 

[cw1990]

Yeah I would wait a few days and test again? My Dr's said you return to normal straight away? I'm still waiting, it will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Good luck

I had my implant removed this Monday so we can start trying - very excited/nervous! I got condoms because I want to know I've had a period before we officially get started.

I asked and was told fertility returns to normal straight away, but I'm doubtful and having had an implant for about 5 years I just want one period and so I can start with some idea of when I might ovulate... although it's been almost 10 years since I last had a normal cycle, so I don't really know what normal is like for me anymore!

 

[cw1990]

Ilex88 I had mine out 3 and a half weeks ago and still no sign of a period. I asked about waiting for a period and they told me it wasn't necessary. I would like to have a period though so I can be more aware of what is going on. I just feel so much in limbo! I want a bfp or period asap!!
