I'm Removing My IUD Tomorrow and I Want to Get Pregnant Asap

My gf got pregnant right away after having her IUD removed - like within a month - so I think you are good to go.

I suggest you try right away, I also suggest hitting the gym and get your body to purge any impurities via sweating it out - that helps me feel much better. I do not think the IUD leaves anything behind and I know there are women on here who have gotten preggers WITH the IUD still IN - with healthy babies so, I think he is being overly cautious.

I swear that I got pg the day after my IUD came out. If it wasn't the day after, it was VERY, EXTREMELY soon after.

I hope it is quick for you. An IUD tends to let you get pregnant sooner than if you were using pills.

Since you are deciding to have a child, why worry about how soon you can or can't. Just enjoy the time you and your husband can have trying to get you pregnant.

It would be wonderful and memorable for you and your husband to go on a cruise together to start the next part of your family.

Good luck to you and yours.

The way IUDs work is to thin the lining of your uterus, NOT to prevent ovulation. So even though you haven't been bleeding every month (because there wasn't all that lining in there to slough off each cycle) you have been ovulating as normally as you ever did.

Your hormone levels really haven't changed and don't need to go back to normal (the progesterone in Mirena is VERY low and doesn't impact ovulation... just thins your uterine lining).

There's really nothing for an IUD to leave behind because they work by FLUSHING things OUT. Once it's removed, your uterine lining will form again and you'll be good to go! The "harmful" to pregnancy thing would just be that you could have an egg that can't implant because the lining isn't there yet... but that's just like when the IUD was in.

There's no harm in trying. Just be prepared that it may take a cycle for your body to get back to normal. You can chart your temps or get an ovulation predictor if you're interested in knowing when you're ovulating since you aren't regular.

Good luck.

I don't think you have to wait but I would ask at your apt. And to track your cycle get an old fashion thermometer with the murcury stuff in it. And take your temperature every morning before you get out of bed. Keep a journal of it. When your temp goes up an entire degree usually that's when you are ovulating and the optimal time. Also keep in mind that when trying it's best to have sex every other day as to let him build back up. That is what the drs tol d my friend that is trying to conceive and having issues. I used the temperature method and got preganent within the first month of trying. That does not work for everyone but I know it works as we had to schedule time with our work schedules.

Good luck and God Bless!

Honestly, I have the most success conceiving immediately after coming off of birth control. My cycle is never more regulated. Wait too long, and your cycle may be erratic (if you are usually irregular, like me), which makes it harder to conceive. I don't see any reason not to try right away!

Good luck!

I track my cycle using the FAM method just so I know when I will get my period since it is so unpredictable.

I read the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility"

I had the most odd periods I'd go 27 days inbtween to 4 months sometimes...Now I know the day that I get it...because of my body temperature in the morning. It has never failed me...it also helped us get pregnant when we wanted.

It's a good and I think important read for women

What kind of IUD is it? If it's a Mirena, your body will naturally "purge" the hormones.

If it's a Copper T, your body will naturally allow the uterine lining to thicken.

Either way, your body will "get pregnant" when it is able to...and it will be ready and safe.

Best of luck!

Great question to ask tomorrow at your appointment to get "official" answers, but here's my experience. I had a Mirena IUD in for a couple of years - I actually didn't need it for BC because my husband had a vasectomy but I did need it for reducing heavy periods, and it reduced them down to just about nothing (yippee!). When I became a gestational carrier, obviously I needed to get the IUD out. After it was removed, all I had to do was wait for my next period (which was within a few of weeks of the removal) to start the IVF cycle. There was no wait period, not concern about needing to "purge" anything, etc. The amount of hormone in the Mirena is a fraction of what's in oral BCPs and once it's out, the hormones stop working. Some women are more sensitive to synthetic hormones than others and their bodies need a couple of months to get back on track, and some can get pregnant instantly (I'm in the instant category), but there is not reason to hold off on trying that I can recall and over a matter of weeks, your cycle will reveal itself.

Get a book called "taking charge of your fertility". It came recommended on this site and helped me a lot when trying to conceive ASAP after two miscarriages.

There is nothing about the IUD that will prevent you from getting pregnant after it is removed.

You will get pregnant when your body is ready to, that might be right away or it might take awhile. But why wait to try? Heck, have sex and enjoy it? Was your hubby's plan to have you remove it and then NOT have sex?

If you want to get pregnant, have sex. It really is that basic. You don't have to have a period in order to ovulate, so you don't have to have a period in order to get pregnant. (This is often explained to knew moms, because one of the biggest myths is that a new mom cannot get pregnant if her period hasn't returned. Not true.)

If you have trouble conceiving, then you can look at "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and begin tracking your cycle and taking your temperature. But why do that if you don't have to? Just have sex and have fun! If you still aren't pregnant in 6 months, then start asking questions. In the mean time, try to relax!
