A member asked:

Is it normal not to have a period over 4 weeks after having implant removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For sure: After having Implanon removed it's definitely normal not to have a normal cycle for awhile. Definitely use protection if you don't want to be pregnant as you will release an egg (ovulate) before you may have a period. Sometimes it can take upwards of 4-6 months to have normal cycle resume, so not to worry.
