How long did it take you to Conceive after removel of IUD?

Question

Ok, I just want strait forward answer on this, I had my IUD removed on July 16, 2008 and I am wanting to get a idea how long its going to take me to conceive. I had the IUD for two years and I still had really light periods when on it, before the IUD I had a baby girl, which I conceived not long (ie 1 month) after getting off BC pills. See my doctor (which this ticks me off that they say this) told me that I could get pregnant RIGHT away after getting it removed and even the doctor that removed in a couple weeks ago said that i could get preggo right away, but I keep reading that is going to take longer, so I want to hear from People WHO have had a iud and removed and HOW long it actually took them to pregnant. Please only those who have experienced this or knows someone close to them have gone through this.. I really want to get pregnant and if I would have know it was going to take so long I would have got it out sooner!

Answer 1

It is recommended that you wait until you have 3 cycles. For 3 reasons

1. You want your lining to build to a good level. If you are period free while on Mirena then you will def want to wait the

3 cycles because if you are period free it means you are not building up the lining on your uterus so if you happen to ovulate while your lining is still to thin the fertilized egg will be unable to take and nourish. Once you have had 3 cycles it is safe to say your body has re adjusted to its own hormones.

2. If mild scarring happens at the time of removal 3 cycles will give it time to heal (There is no way to know if you did or did not have scarring)

3. for timing purposes. Once you have had 3 cycles you will be more likely to have a pattern and you will be able to pinpoint conception better there for timing your pregnancy better.
