Hi Moms,
My husband and I are talking about having another baby. I'm just wondering if anyone could share how long it took to get pregnant after having an IUD removed. My dr. recommended having 3 or 4 regular cycles again before even trying, which he said usually takes 6 mos or so. WHAT! If we decide to definitely have another, I certainly don't want to wait until the spring to even start trying! The dr said, although not proven whatsoever, that getting pregnant right away after IUD removal could have a higher chance of miscarriage. I'm already 37 yrs old so I don't particularly want to wait that long to start trying, especially since it could take me a little bit to even get pregnant. Anyone willing to share their stories would be great!! Thx!

I got pregnant the month after I had an IUD removed and the doctor said that I should have no problems (I had been worried it was too soon after the removal). I had no complications at all.
I got my period 5 weeks after having my Mirena removed, and four weeks later was holding a + HPT.
Now baby Ian is eight days old and sitting in my lap ;-)
you can physically get pregnant as soon as it is out...that is why they tell you to use back up if it slips or comes out.
i got mine out last may...mid month. Healthy baby girl born this Feb...my husband jokes i came home from thr removal preggers...lol
I got my Mirena removed in march, Dr. Told me to wait till after I got my normal period, so we didn't start trying till June... Still not pregnant.. :-(
We've been doin it like crazy.. So maybe soon. I asked a similar question the other day, got alot of positive responses, but still nothing for me yet.
When I got my IUD removed I got pregnant after my second period... and my doctor didn't tell me to wait at all... Good luck!!!!
Yup pretty similar for me. I got a period, or what I thought was a period, but then I got another one 2 weeks later. The cycle after that weird one was when I got pregnant. My doctor didn't share any of those statistics with me either but it was almost 3 years ago as my son is about to turn 2, so maybe there has been more research done. I don't think the IUD will affect how quickly you do or don't get pregnant, good luck!
I got mine removed June 10 and it took us til may 11 to get pregnant.
I had mine out in November around 12th. I was told to wait a month. I got pregnant in about a month after trying. Probably early january. I had a healthy 7 lb baby!
Good luck..
My dr didn't tell me to wait a time period before trying. I got mine out, had one period and the next month I was pregnant with my daughter. Everything went fine. He never said anything about miscarriage.
