Mirena Removal/getting Pregnant

My sister was told to wait three months/three normal cycles before trying to conceive. She got pregnant almost as soon as the waiting period was over and has a beautiful 18mos old son!

Well, I got pregnant WITH the Mirena (ectopic). I never actually *tried to get pregnant after that, but I did about a year later, and with only one fallopian tube. So, no, I don't believe the Mirena caused any drop in my fertility!

I was also pregnant about 3 months after having the Paraguard removed - also without actually trying.

I had the Mirena after my first child (nov 2006 i had it put in) and it worked well for me except the fact that I gained weight on it. I had it removed sep 2007. After i had it removed we used condoms until we were ready for our next child. We started trying (not very seriously tho) winter of 2007 and i didnt get pregnant until sep 2008. With my first it took 3 months and my 3rd was instant. So who knows. Maybe it had something to do with the mirena and maybe it was just me! Good Luck!

I had the Mirena for about 18 months, had it removed on a Thursday and started my period on a sunday...got pregnant about 2 weeks later! Even the doctors were shocked with how quickly we got pregnant. However, mine ended in a miscarriage (my first). I went back on birth control for about 5 months and then came off of it to try again and we are currently pregnant again. I am 11 weeks and so far everything is good. I can't say it was the Mirena that caused the miscarriage though. I personally believe it was stress related because I had a lot going on within my family at the time. However, stress hasn't scientifically been proven to cause miscarriage. Good luck!

I got mine out on Aug 16th, started my period on the 18th (normal time of the month) and conceived on Sept 1st. I had my Mirena for a couple years and didn't have a period with it.

That's how it worked for me.

I have the Mirena, but plan to keep it until I decide to use permanent birth control. However I do have several online friends and real life friends who have become pregnant without any problems getting pregnant right away after having it removed and without miscarrying those pregnancies. A couple had miscarriages in subsequent pregnancies due to other issues (problems with the pregnancy itself or the fetus).

I used the pill for years before trying for my first son, and I was pregnant within the month. After he was born, I had the Mirena inserted. Over three years later, I had it removed, so we could have another child. It took me about five months to get pregnant that time. However, I chalk it up to being older (over thirty), and my husband's work schedule being too busy for us to really try hard. ;) I've never heard of it being the cause of miscarriages AFTER it was taken out, though. Good luck!

My sister had it removed in January, after having it in for over 4 years. And in April she found out she was pregnant. The key thing to remember is to wait a few period cycles to pass so that it is regulated. And then off you go with the baby making process! :)

I had the mirena in for 2 yrs then had it removed to try for our 2nd. It was April when I had it taken out, my husband was away at bootcamp so we weren't together til July but I got pregnant a couple days after he got back. I just gave birth last week to a healthy baby girl :) Good Luck!!!

I had the Mirena IUD for 18 months and then had it removed to conceive my 2nd child. I got pregnant within 3 months and had no problems. My friend had the IUD for 5 years and conceived her 3rd child without a problem. You'll probably be fine, especially since your first two were easy to conceive. Good luck! :)
