Fertility Recovery After Removing the Implanon Contraceptive Implant

Article reviewed by Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialists at Vinmec Ha Long International Hospital

Women can have the contraceptive implant removed at any time. After its removal, ovulation resumes quickly, and fertility returns to normal.

1. What is the Implanon Contraceptive Implant?

The contraceptive implant is a method of birth control that prevents pregnancy by inserting a small rod containing progestogen hormones under the skin of the upper arm. This rod releases a small, consistent dose of hormones daily to prevent pregnancy.

This method is a long-term contraceptive option with high efficacy, preventing pregnancy up to 99.9%.

During the use of the contraceptive implant, women do not need to use additional contraceptive methods. Once the implant is removed, fertility is quickly restored.

2. Who Is Suitable for the Contraceptive Implant?

The contraceptive implant is suitable for a wide range of women, including those who have not had children or those who have already given birth. However, this method is contraindicated for women who:

  • Are pregnant.

  • Have breast cancer.

It is most appropriate for women of childbearing age who want a highly effective, long-term contraceptive option that allows for fertility recovery after removal.

Advice: Women are encouraged to undergo a reproductive health examination at a reputable hospital and consult with a doctor before opting for this method.

Women can have the contraceptive implant removed at any time without experiencing side effects or complications.

If you wish to conceive, simply visit a healthcare facility where medical professionals can remove the implant for you. The procedure takes approximately 5–15 minutes.

Unlike the DMPA contraceptive injection, fertility returns quickly and completely after the implant is removed, without affecting the ability to conceive or the safety of future pregnancies. The hormone levels in the body drop to undetectable levels within 1 week after removal.

The earliest time a woman can conceive is within 1 week after the implant is removed. In most cases, fertility is fully restored within 3 weeks.

Women who wish to have the contraceptive implant inserted can visit the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Vinmec Ha Long International Hospital.
