Trying to Conceive After Mirena IUD Removal

Hi there,
I just had this same discussion with my OB last mo. at my annual. I also have the Mirena and LOVE it! However if I wanted to start trying to conceive next year, so how soon should I take it out? She said b/c of the progesterone levels that are continuously released from the IUD it could take a couple of months for your body to regulate a menstrual cycle again and start ovulating. So if you got it out in January I think this Spring will be your time. Just give it at least 3 months and give your OB a call if nothing happens after 6 mos. or sooner. Consider stress a factor too with your two little ones!
Best of luck!!

As far as I know, hormones can take several months to regulate after a change in birth control. Try to relax and be patient - dothing you can do will make it happen any faster than it will. Good luck, mama!

Hi i had my iud removed on march 10 of this yr had a full period on march 12. In i have been ttc every since then me in my husband. All my test are negative. And i just started my cycle again really heavy on april 7. So i guess i just have to be patient. And wait a while so gud luck ladies. In congrats to those who are pregnant1 thinks for the advise!!!!

A.,

I got pregnant immediatley after I had my Mirena removed, so did a few of my friends. We ALL miscarried! Please wait until it has been out for 3 months, then try! I think you are lucky that you haven't gotten PG yet. Those hormones stay in your body for months afterwards.

The good news ~ I got pregnant on the first try, 3 months after my miscarry. I am now 6 months along and everything is fine. My sister got PG 2 months after Mierena removal and she just gave birtth to a perfect and healthy little boy.

Please be patient, it is much better to wait a little while rather than go through a miscarry at 12 weeks!

Good luck!

I had my Mirina removed at the end of feb of 2010 and I concived in early april

I also had the Mirena Iud removed in January 08 and it was the most horrible thing ever I would like to have another child too but had no luck the Mirena was so uncomfortable and had be bleeding for months i had to take estrogen pills just to stop the bleeding and it worked for two weeks and then back to the bleeding I just stopped and had my first regular period in March bad business but I hope we can conceive our third child as soon as possible good luck trying

hello A.,
i may not have any answer to your question but i too am trying to have another baby after i had my iud taken out. my docter never mentioned anything about waiting awhile before trying to have another one, instead she tried telling me when the best time to try was, haha! it's been about 2 months after my iud was taken out, and i may be pregnant, but i have 2 weeks before my next period starts, so i guess i might have to wait until then to find out. I will keep you updated if you would like to let you know if i was able to conceive after the removal of my iud! Good luck with you and just relax and have fun making the baby!! lol

I think the advice you got so far is right on. I have been on the Copper IUD before; and it made me bleed all the time, and so I had to take it out- but now that I have reconciled my marriage, I have also had no luck since I pulled it out 2yrs ago. I wonder if stress, anxiety has anything to do with that as well??? Just try to relax and have fun, don't worry too much about actually making a baby during sex. It will happen when you least expect it. Good luck ~
