How long should I try before I need to worry I cannot get pregnant?
by Patti395, Jul 22, 2008 11:09AM
I had the IUD Mirena removed on 17 June 2008 and the 19th started what I thought was a period. I bled for three days, and prior to birth control I had longer periods, but I still counted this as a period. From then, I estimated when I should be ovulating and had sex every other day and then everyday during that window. I haven't had any sign of a period and it has been 33 days so I tested just in case and it was negative. How can I maximize my chances and is it normal not to get pregnant the right after removing the IUD. I appreciate any responses, I was extremely bummed out that our efforts did not take. Thank you!

Test again in a week. You might have ovulated later than you think. Your periods might also be irregular for a couple of months after removal.
