Hi moms. I'm curious to know how long it has taken people to get pregnant after having their Mirena IUD removed? I've heard stories about women bleeding for long periods of time, having miscarriages or not being able to get pregnant. Is the removal painful? Any tips and insights will be helpful. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Hi Emily-
I also had the Mirena IUD removed and it took less then a year to concieve and I now have a 3 week old baby boy. And that was without even trying!! Good luck!

Hi Emily,

I don't know about the getting pregnant again part. I went back on the pill after my Mirena expired. But, I did want to let you know that the removal did not hurt a bit. It was a relief to me because the insertion really hurt even though they say it isn't suppose to.

Good Luck.

The removal was quick and painless -- way easier than when they put it in! I had mine for a year and was pregnant 3 cycles after it was removed and had a totally normal pregnancy.

I had my mirena for a year and a half (June 2006 to January 2008). We didn't try too hard to get pregnant. Once my husband was around we got confirmation within 6 months. Our baby was born on April 1st of this year.

Overall I was satisfied with mirena and our conception progress!

GOOD LUCK!

I had mine for around 2 years. And once I had it removed I did not try to get pregnant for a couple months. But when I did try I got pregnant right away (about 4 months later.)

Like the others said the removal was just a bit uncomfortable.

I was happy with Mirena IUD.

I had mine inserted in May of 2005 and removed on March 29, 2008. I concieved on April 30, 2008 and my little one was born on December 21, 2008 (he was very eager to come into this world!). I love the Mirena IUD and had another one inserted 3 weeks ago after the birth of my son (now 4 months old). I'm not sure how long we'll wait until we have our next child; however, I loved the Mirena so much, I've recommended it for all of my friends. The removal was virtually painless, less pain than stubbing your toe (and I have NO pain tolerance).

Good luck!

I was mildly crampy for a day. I got pregnant the very next cycle and am holding my 2 month old in my arms right now!

I had the Mirena for just under 2 years. I had it removed in December of 05 and was not able to get pregnant until October of 07, so just about 2 years of actively trying before finally getting pregnant again.

In comparison I got pregnant with #1 after a month of trying (no previous BC methods) and got pregnant with #3 after an oops when my daughter was 7 months old (only using withdrawal method.. I'm due in October)

My doctor seems to think the Mirena had something to do with my problems TTC #2. I was temping and charting and doing everything else I was supposed to when trying to get pregnant, and it just took a LOT longer than I was expecting. Instead of kids 2 or 3 years apart like I had planned they ended up being 4 1/2 years apart!! (but as it turns out the age gap was perfect! :))

The removal if the IUD was not painful, just a little uncomfortable. Insertion was a lot worse! I was just glad to get that thing out of my body!!

Removal is not painful. I had mine removed because it gave me chronic yeast infections,so I'm not sure about how long it would take to get pg. I have not tried to.

Good luck,
