Hi and welcome to HCM,
I understand your issue. There are two questions. The first is how long will it take for the implant to leave your system:
If you have been off the implant for 6 months, the drug is no longer in your system. The drug clears out of the body within 48 hours of removing the implant. So this is not an issue. However, it may take some time for a few females for the fertile cycles to return. It is usually immediate after stopping the implant but may take upto 6 months in a few women foe fertile cycles to return.
Another thing is that every month there are only few days when sexual contact will result in
pregnancy. For a women with regular 28 days cycle, the fertile days are from day 10-18 from the first day of the previous menstrual cycle. These are the days when the female egg is released [ovulation ] and is available for uniting with the sperm for pregnancy to occur. It is advisable to keep contact on alternate days during this period for maximum chances of pregnancy.
Second query is about pregnacare conception: The tablets contain many minerals and
vitamins that help to prevent deficiency of these during pregnancy so that the baby gets optimal amounts of these. Some of these vitamins are helpful as their deficiency may lead to defects in the baby and these are avoided by taking these before pregnancy. It will not help in conception, will not increase your chances of conception as it is not meant for that, but it will help in having a healthy baby.
I suggest that you continue the tablets for 1-2 months and try to keep contact during the fertile period. If you do not conceive within the next 2-3 months, you see a
fertility specialist and get tested for the cause if any.
I think that as you already have one baby, you should not have any problems in conceiving the second time. Just do not worry. Best of luck.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
