Pregnancy after IUD removal

[tweety00]

Is it really possible to conceive in the first cycle after removal of IUD. I am a 28 year old healthy female. I have on child(2 1/2 year old daughter).I had a Mirena implanted when my daughter was 6 months old. It has been a little over two years now. Had it removed on 7/8/10 ttc second child. Had AF on 6/28 then removal bleeding(AF) on 7/10. Expecting O this weekend. Had unprotected sex with the hubs 7/17 and 7/22. Have been reading posts of women that conceived the first or second cycle. Is it really possible. Would love to conceive that quickly as my daughter is getting out of her baby stage and not paying me as much attention as I have gotten used to. Anyone have a similar experience and conceive quickly or have any advise???

I had my IUD (Mirena) inserted on June 13, 2007 after I had my son and had it removed on July 2, 2009, it took me 39 days before I got my first period, and I know some women who it's taken 90+ days to receive their first period. Your body's just trying to get back to normal, I know how frustrating it can be while your sitting in lingo, not sure weather your pregnant or when your first period will show up, but try to be patient it will happen when the time is right! Also your body will play tricks on you after the removal that make you think that your pregnant, I myself went through these, and boy are they not fun, especially since period and pregnancy symptoms are so similar. Most women will agree that the bleeding after removal is just removal bleeding not a period. Also I know a very few women who have gotten pregnant right away after removal, so anything is possible, but most Dr's will advise you to wait at least one cycle so that your uterus lining is thick to hold the baby. It took me almost 7 months till I finally got my BFP (Big Fat Positive). Also I would start taking prenatal vitamins ASAP, my Dr told me to start taking them 3 months prior to conceiving to make sure that your body is ready to go. I am currently 31 weeks and 6 days pregnant with a healthy baby boy. Good luck and hope this helps!

August 10-17 2009 ~ AF normal 7 days for me prior to having Mirena inserted
September 2, 2009 ~ Positive OPK ~ 16 days after AF
September 13-20, 2009 ~ AF, didn't use OPK's this month
October 15-22, 2009 ~ AF, didn't use OPK's this month
November 18-25, 2009 ~ AF, didn't use OPK's this month
December 20-26, 2009 ~ AF, didn't use OPK's this month
January 6, 2010 ~ Positive OPK, BD using Pre-Seed found at babyhopes.com
January 7, 2010 ~ BD without using Pre-Seed
January 17, 2010 ~ Very very faint positive (11dpo)
January 19, 2010 ~ BFP (13dpo) using a First Response Gold Digital with first morning urine, so it took me almost 7 months to finally get my BFP!

Thank you so much for all that good adivse. I do feel in limbo as not knowing when to expect next real AF. If removal bleeding did not count than AF due next week as was bleeding at time of expected O for this month due to removal of IUD. Last AF would have been 6/28. Guess I will have to wait til next month to O which is probably better as I have ready of many women conceiving during first cycle but ending in miscarriage. U have been very helpful and best wishes to you with just 8 weeks and 2 days left right.
