i have been on the implant for 2years and i just got it removed on 17th July 2012 and as off today 3rd August i have had no real sign of a period, although i have had a few days of bad cramps, my question is, as me and my partner have decided to try for a baby do i need to my my period to begin before we can start... I am really confused.... What should i be doing to increase my chances other than the obsivous lol...

Hi, I had my implant out in May after 3 years. It was 5 weeks before I had my period, then I fell pregnant straight after. We were half-heartedly trying before my period, but as I hadn't had a proper cycle, I wasn't sure when I would be ovulating. Once I'd had that first cycle, I knew everything was in good working order lol. It can take a while for your first period to come back, even though the implant hormones disappear immediately after removal, so don't panic just yet. I felt pre-menstrual for those entire first 5 weeks...

Our method of ttc, which has worked for us 3 times now, is for me to listen to my body so I know when I'm ovulating, ( slight sharp one-sided pains, mucus changes etc), and we have sex every 2-3 days once my period has finished. So far the longest it has taken was my Daughter (now 7), and that was three months

So my main advice would be, relax and your period will come, once that happens then you know everything is working ok, but in the mean time have fun

Kind Regards x
