I currently have the Copper IUD. My husband and I would like to start trying for another baby soon. Has anyone had problems getting pregnant once the IUD was removed? My Dr. told me that I should have at least one period after the IUD is removed before starting to get pregnant. Should I wait a little longer and have several periods before conceiving? Any complications with the baby because of the copper in the mother's system? Just curious!
My friend had an IUD and she got it removed in the middle of the week and she got pregnant the next weekend. That happened really fast and she has a beautiful baby girl.
Good Luck
I have two beautiful children each conceived within two months of each removal of the IUD. They are healthy (and mostly grown (16 and 20). No issues at all.
Good luck.
I got the IUD removed in Jan - my doctor suggested waiting two months before trying. I got pregnant in April and miscarried at roughly 10 weeks. I got pregnant two months later and again miscarried at 5 weeks along. About three months later I got pregnant again and had a healthy baby girl. I don't know if the miscarriages were related to the IUD (Mirena) or not - it may have just been bad luck. Good luck to you!
I had my copper iud removed about 2 weeks later I was pregnant. I never even had a period. So start trying asap!!! I did!!
I had my copper IUD removed in January, then got pregnant on my second cycle in February. You could start immediately, or you could wait it out one cycle, as I felt more comfortable doing. Good luck!
I had an IUD in for about three years. When I took my IUD out I was pregnant within a month or two. I don't remember waiting at all before trying to conceive and if I remember correctly I was told by my doc that I could get preganant immediatly. Good luck!
I had a copper IUD and it took me a year to get pregnant after removing it. But I doubt it took a year because of the IUD. We ended getting pregnant on our first IUI - so probably it was something other than the IUD.
I had the copper T too for 5 or so years. The doctor told me that it might take at least one cycle to get pregnant (it ended up taking us a year). Nevertheless, since the copper T has no chemicals/hormones there is nothing to wait for your body to rid itself of. I think the one month is to let your body begin to prepare for a baby. Good luck and enjoy the process ;-)
