Is pregnancy possible or does it take awhile after IUD removal?

Question

I had a Mirena IUD removed mid June, just a couple weeks before my wedding. I started bleeding before I was even out of the building and it continued off and on very lightly for a few days. My regular cycle usually starts around the 12th every month. During the 2 years I had the Mirena in I did not have my period at all. I have not had my period at all during the mth of July. No bleeding at all. I have had one pregnancy test that was negative. I'm still wondering if I'm pregnant. We are using the 'pull out' method. Does it take awhile to get your regular period back after IUD removal, or should I get another pregnancy test? I'm on medication for a leg problem right now so my seldom nausea is hard to tell if its from the med or....being pregnant. I have two kids already so I'm familiar with the signs. But wondering if the IUD removal has me excited over nothing. haha thanks for you opinions.

Answer 1

I got pregnant in March after having my Mirena removed in January.

Answer 2

I was pregnant within 3 months of removal of my copper IUD that didn't have the synthetic hormones found in Mirena.

Answer 3

It is my understanding that there is no delay after removing an IUD because it doesn't do anything to your body chemically.  Eggs just won't implant because there is a foreign object present.  As soon as the foreign object is gone, you're good to go!

Answer 4

Hi a few things, the pull out method DOES NOT WORK!!!!  I have a wonderful seven year old daughter to prove other wise

I as well had my copper IUD removed 5/12/08 after 7 years my period is a little wacky but back on track.  We are ttc #2 I just got AF troday so this will start our 4th month in trying.

It will take azt least 3 months maybe a few more to get your body "back to normal".  

Good Luck to you
