How long after IUD removal did you get pregnant?

[crayon]

I am getting my IUD out on the 12th.  I am wondering how long it has taken people to get pregnant? I am not 100% I am ready for a 3rd.. but maybe!

It took me about 6 months, but I was over 40, so that might not be relevant if you're younger. Age would be a bigger factor than IUD. I had the Paraguard one.

I'm glad you started this thread...hopefully more mamas will chime in. I have an IUD for about a year now and we're hoping to start TTC next spring, so I'm curious what other women's experiences have been getting pregnant right away.

I had Paragard out on June 30 of last year and got pregnant by the end of September. Theoretically there is no time lag on return to fertility when Paragard is removed (not sure about Mirena), although obviously getting pregnant takes different amounts of time for different people under any circumstances.

I used the Mirena after I had my son. When we decided to TTC, I got pregnant after my first cycle post IUD.  I am a fertile myrtle though and get pregnant fairly easy. Good luck!

About 6 months - but I was nursing and (pretty sure) I was not ovulating for the first couple months.

I got my mirena out, had a period starting the next day followed by a 15 day cycle (with ovulation) followed by a pretty long cycle before my cycle length normalized. I used FAM to avoid for 4.5 months and conceived our first month TTC. Each cycle my fertility signs increased. I would say it would take several months to really normalize, which is not to say you couldn't conceive sooner.

7 months after having the mirena out, with charting, opks, and good timing.

Mirena out August 15th.

Conceived 26th October (yes, I know to the day).

Since I had my Mirena as treatment for endometriosis, we got pretty lucky.

I know people who have conceived within 4 weeks of having the Mirena removed- it is possible.

I just had my removed oct 10. my doctor told me i had to wait 3 month before i can start trying to have a baby... which i do not understand why nor do i want to wait 3 month to start try....If i had know I had to wait 3 month i would had taken it out 3 month ago. I am cinfused about it, I have not read any post say they where told the same thing. Most of the post i have read with in the month they are pregent.... good luck!!!

Conceived 5 cycles after having the Mirena out, miscarried at 12 weeks, conceived one cycle later - have a beautiful DS now.

i had the paraguard removed feb/2012 and still nothing...i think there was serious damage that i dont know about. its been a year and a month....

I took my Paragard out on December 20th (during my period) and haven't had a period since- I conceived on January 4th and am now 14 weeks pregnant.

So I just had the mirena taken out about 2 weeks ago after having it for 8 years and yes I am one if the "lucky" ones that had no period at all. When I had it taken out my Doc said that I can get pregnant immediately even though I haven't had a period. So how would I know when to take a pregnancy test?

I waited 3 months before TTC after having my Mirena removed in order to give my body a chance to regulate its own hormones. I got pregnant after 4 cycles of trying but miscarried at 6 weeks. My son was conceived 4 months after that... Exactly 1 year (to the day) after getting the Mirena removed.

I would wait another 2 weeks (which is about 1 more week now since you posted a week ago). I ovulated exactly 2 weeks after having it removed, so if I had gotten pregnant, I would have had a positive pregnancy test 4 weeks after it was removed (although that particular cycle was only 23 days so I didn't make it that long).

Well I had mines in for 6mos got it took out had sex the same day the nxt day my period came on 3days later it went off and I just took a pregnancies test and it's positive so I would say Yesss u can get pregnant after removal it's probably even quicker but I'm very fertal anyways so good luck mommies
