Implant contraception, such as Nexplanon, typically releases hormones for about three years, after which its effectiveness diminishes. Once the implant is removed, the hormones can leave your system relatively quickly—usually within a few days to a few weeks. However, the time it takes for your menstrual cycle and fertility to return to normal can vary from person to person. Some may resume regular cycles within a month, while others might take a few months longer.
