Implanon Nxt

I've had the implanon nxt contraceptive bar taken out near a month ago but haven't received a period yet and Im not on the pill as of yet but my partner and I use condoms, so I doubt I'd be pregnant. I was just wondering how long after this bar is taken out do women start getting back to having their regular periods as I'm a little worried something may be wrong? ??

It can take a few months for your periods to return as it takes a while to clear the hormones from your body. Your body then has to adjust to its own natural hormonal function. This all takes time.
It's important to use an alternative method of contraception immediately just in case you are one of the few women who begin to ovulate shortly after removal. It's just a safeguard and doesn't mean you should get your period in the first weeks.
If you are still concerned after 3-4 months you can see your doctor to check your hormone function but it's quite normal to take a while.

     This is similar to the Norplant my daughter had. After it's removal,  It was at least 4 months before she had any signs of a period.  
     If it bothers you enough, see your gyn.
