Hello, you have asked a good
Hello, you have asked a good question. According to Planned Parenthood, a woman can become pregnant at any time after removal of the implant. It has been slowly releasing a hormone into your body which only remains for a short time after implant removal. Theoretically, you could become pregnant the first time you ovulate after the removal and should use another method of birth control if you aren't prepared to have a child yet. Ask your gynecologist about ways you should be preparing your body in anticipation of pregnancy, such as having a physical examination and possibly beginning a regimen of folic acid supplementation. Best wishes!
