None

I had the Implanon in for over a year and never had my period. I got it taken out over two months ago and still havent had my period is that normal?

It’s common to have a lighter period while using Implanon, and for many women, their periods go away completely. But it is uncommon for a woman to go for two months without a period after her implant is removed.

Women can get pregnant very soon after having an implant removed. If you’re concerned about a possible pregnancy, take a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

If you are not pregnant and you do not get your period, talk with your health care provider.
