TTC after nexplanon, chance of miscarriage?

Ra
Hey ladies! 
My husband and I have decided to start trying for our first little one! I just got my Nexplnon taken out a couple weeks ago and my doctor told me that it's best to wait for one period first before trying. Was anyone else told this? I was told that it would help prevent a miscarriage. Anyways I have never wanted my period so badly hahaha 
I was suppose to start last week but looks the removal has delayed it some. Hoping to start soon so we can stop using protection. So glad to have a support system other than my hubby.
