Had IUD removed yesterday how long will it take now?

[Jencorley]

I had my IUD removed yesterday. The Dr. told me that it may take me 2 weeks to ovulate, or it may take me 15 weeks. We are wanting to get pregnant. I didn't have a period while I had the IUD, however I only had it for 7 months. Should I wait to get normal periods before we try or should we just try. The Dr. did say to wait 36 to 48 hours before sex, but didnt say anything else. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this.

I had mine out in November after having it in for 16 months. I had finally started getting my periods in August, but I was nursing until then, so that probably had more to do with it than anything else.

Anyway, I had mine out around the time of ovulation, but we were going to take that cycle off anyway. I got pg the next cycle, but had a very early loss. I did get pg again after waiting one cycle after the miscarriage and am now 13 weeks 4 days. So as you can see, it didn't take long at all in the grand scheme of things.

Good luck!!

I just started bleeding today after having it removed on Tuesday, does this mean that I was ovulating with it in? And it is ok to start ttc after this is over or is this just a spotting thing?

I spotted off and on for a few days after removal. One of the primary functions of the IUD is to thin the uterine lining in an effort to prevent implantation from occuring should you ovulate. I would try and wait until you get a period so your lining has a chance to thicken up a bit. But what you decide to do is entirely up to you : )

I had my IUD removed 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had no bleeing at the time,a nd have had none since, except maybe one spot.   I have had an upset stomach, cramping and dizzyness for the past few days.  Could this be my period trying to start?  I have not had a period for 4 years.

i just had mine removed 10/13 and have been having the same symtoms. i have been spotting a little bit. i had my mirena for almost 2 years and only one visit from AF. it took me 3 years to get pregnant with my first so hopfully it wont take that long this time!

I got my iud removed in September but when I got it removed it was a day after my af and after I got it removed I had period like bleeding the day after getting it removed for 4 days usually the length of my period when October came around I started on the same day I started bleeding after getting it removed and when November came around I haven't had a period and am 7 days late. I took 2 hpt the day of my missed period and one yesterday and both came out negative. Is there a chance that I might be pregnant?

I read this thread when I was getting my IUD removed so I wanted to post my experience.  I had Mirena inserted 8 weeks postpartum (I've had it in a little over a year.)  We decided to remove it bc we wanted to start TTC our 2nd child.  My period started Nov 1 and I had Mirena removed Nov 4.  I ovulated on schedule around Nov 14 and I got a positive pg test on Nov 27!  I'm very early, but just wanted to let you all know you can get pg very quickly.  I was expecting it to take longer bc I thought my lining was too thin, but apparently not!
