Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Return of ovulation is commonly seen in six weeks after removal of the implant. So, the same should hold good for you though you did not get the implant removed, but it would be almost non-functional. Your symptoms could be due to withdrawal of the hormone effect as the hormone leaves the body within a week of removal. If you wish to exclude/confirm pregnancy, you can go for the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres. This is more sensitive and specific and clarifies the situation. Hope this helps.
