Have Implanon Birth Control. Late Period. Negative Pregnancy Test. How Soon After Removing Can I Get Pregnant?

Hello, I have the Implanon birth control for 5 years 2 rods and always had periods every month just lighter. I'm overweight and my doc said that I should change it after 2 years due to the fact of it been less effective . now my period has been late for a week took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Also I'm removing my Implanon on 6/18/13 because me and spouse want to try to have a baby, how soon after removing it can I get pregnant. Thanks

Hello,
The implanon is advised only for 3 years for its efficacy. You have kept it for 5 years. It is better to remove it. The effect of Implanon hormone (etonorgestrel) vanishes within 7 days and within 6 weeks you regain your menstruation as previously, So the chance for pregnancy can be expected after your next period.
Meanwhile, because of the long duration of keeping Implanon check your pregnancy test in blood and confirm the previous pregnancy test result..
Best wishes
