wanting to take out mirena

I currently hnave had mirena for four years.  My husband and I are wanting to have a baby in May of 2013.  When should I take out mirena and about how long does it usually take to get pregnant after mirena removal?

Hello,
After removing the IUD, a woman’s ability to become pregnant returns quickly. The hormonal effect of Mirena lasts only for a few days after removal and you can conceive few days after Mirena removal.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
